I think I have said this before :-) I would prefer that all apps behave
like snmptranslate, especially since they do not have the ways of
snmptranslate to return all matching objects.

$ apps/snmptranslate -IR system
SNMPv2-MIB::system
$ apps/snmptranslate -mALL -IR system
LaserJet-Series-9000-MIB::hpsystem

Given that it is not at all predictable which object you get back, -IR
should never have been the default for the apps.
