It'll save keystrokes and print one line per interface.  Other than
that, it's not too much different.

The intent of the original request in that bug was to make sure that
the information provided by the ndd status-reporting "variables" was
readily available elsewhere before yanking out the ndd bits, so that
we don't unnecessarily annoy support folks and developers (who I think
are the main audience).  Some judgement probably needs to be applied
in determining whether and how to satisfy that.
