I hadn't noticed it change at all over the decades.  It did look
lonely without thenconfig and elseconfig commands to keep it company
somehow.

Granted, the ip command on a Linux box has access to a lot more
functionality and uses CIDR notation, so navigating one's way through
what it does in lieu of proper documentation and learning to use it
does pay off.
