	currently, IPv4 alias is not printed on the following comand invocation,
	# ifconfig foo
	# ifconfig -a foo
	however, the aliases are there, and will be printed with the following:
	# ifconfig -A foo
	# ifconfig -a -A foo

	it is, IMHO, confusing (and i got comments from others, including
	jinmei - cc'ed).  is it okay to always print aliases, and say
	good bye to -A? (i.e. -A is the default behavior)
