That aside, why repeat this info at all?

Is there ever any case where the address will not be part of the network (at
least in IPv[46]? Why not just this:

Name  Mtu   Network &&/|| Address              Ipkts Ierrs    Opkts Oerrs Colls
sm1   1500  <Link>        00:00:86:05:80:fa     2358     0     2581     0    38
sm1   1500  fe80:1::200:86ff:fe05:80fa/64       2358     0     2581     0    38
[etc.]

This preserves all the info. It would also make IPv4 info look a lot nicer
too, since you wouldn't have a problem of truncation with "-in".

I don't really advocate using "&&/||", I'm just being lazy.
