Been asking about that one for years. But hey they finally hid the
internal __juniper_private ribs in recent code, so it's proof miracles
really can happen.

While you're doing features requests, I'll buy you beers for life if you
can get them to put in some #$%^&*() commas in the counters (and yes
they have to be commas, until you can convince them to also add "show
bgp neighbours" :P). Nothing says fun like holding your finger over the
screen of a constantly updating number trying to count the digits to
figure out what the hell the actual value is, or better yet missing one
by accident and coming up an order of magnitude off. How many seconds 
does it take you to figure out what this says, even with it not 
updating:

Traffic statistics:                                                     [0]
  Input bytes:          4680158011119510 (3275000368 bps)               [0]
  Output bytes:         62375102336927409 (33865856768 bps)             [0]
