One thing that strikes me is that it doesn't scale terribly well,
i.e. what's going to be done for the next additional address family to
be supported?

Furthermore, ifconfig.if(5) provides an example of routing information
being modified using shell evaluation, so why add an alternative
interface to that interface?  (Note I'm not arguing about possibly
deprecating the existing defaultroute/mygate at this point...)
