interfaces where one type is used for internal stuff like a dedicated
pfsync or management link, eg. 

set skip on em
block in on ix0

...or soekrises with vr(4) and a quad sis(4) in one box.

"ifconfig em" also works, so i think it would be less special and
confusing if "set skip on em" would just work without extra config
