I find it desireable to have the option numbers mentioned in
dhcp-options(5). Rationale:

- the names assigned are arbitrary, the numbers are RFC'd. 
- searching the interwebs often returns the numbers and an arbitrary
  name that doesn't necessarily help in finding the name used by
  OpenBSDs dhcpd(8). 
- having to look up number-to-name in usr.sbin/dhcpd/tables.c is not
  intended, I suppose.

That is going to be a lot of work, therefore asking in advance: 
any interest in such a diff?

current:

option arp-cache-timeout uint32;
        This option specifies the timeout in seconds for ARP
        cache entries.

suggestion:

option arp-cache-timeout uint32;
        This option specifies the timeout in seconds for ARP
        cache entries.
        option-35, RFC 2132, Section 6.2.

Additionally, as something that I cannot code myself, I would like to
be allowed to specify ``option-35 3600;'' even if there's a name
assigned to that number.

Bye, Marcus
