How do you decide that a structure is around enough to warrant
being able to read back in it's printed representation?

Will we have to worry about read dispatch character collisions?

What else is useful to bundle with IP addrs? :netmask :vlsm-bits :wildcard
(Is Cisco the only one who uses wildcards?) :gateway :route :dns ?
:dhcp - to make it a dynamic variable
