[j-nsp] junos 10.0 / interface-range implementation

[Felix Schueren]

Just reading the release notes for 10.0 I found myself thinking "Yes!
finally! An interface range command for the EXes!", only to learn that
this is a strange mixture of a concept somewhere between apply-group &
interface-set - it's NOT the simply yet incredibly effective cisco-style
which would allow stuff like

edit interfaces
set range ge-0/1/0-47 family ethernet-switching vlan members 123
set range ge-0/1/0-23 (default rate limit, default filter, etc)

So basically, I can now group my interfaces and have those grouped
interfaces share certain characteristics. That's nice for some
applications, but it does not help at all with the problem of
provisioning one-off stuff on ports that are not really grouped (meaning
that each port might end up with a totally different config at some
point in time) but that still should be configured identically
initially. So watch out, it's not the "interface range" many folks were
expecting.

:(

Kind regards,

Felix
