>Description:
The route commands accepts to delete a default route with the
syntax:

route delete default <gateway>

but the actual operation ignores the gateway parameter. In fact,
you can omit the parameter altogether.

If that behaviour is wanted it should be documented in the manual,
but IMHO the parameter should be verified.

>How-To-Repeat:

% route add default 1.2.3.4
add net default: gateway 1.2.3.4
% route delete default 5.6.7.8
delete net default: gateway 5.6.7.8
%
