I'm not sure you can do that.  I'd actually have to go look through the
SNMP and BER docs to figure out whether a zero-length OID is legal in
both of them.

(if you specify just . to our tools now you'll find that it'll actually
do .1).

Though snmpwalk could be smarter and start from .0 and do getnexts to
infinity, but that's a different subject.

This is actually my favorite personal option, but at the same time I
don't think it should be chosen.
