I have run into the same problem in a couple of environments:

1) Servers with 10+ zones.  In this case, I may want to take a look at
the interfaces for a particular zone but have a very hard time finding
them without piping through less then searching.

2) Servers with an IPMP group serving the routable network and 6+
networks serving as cluster interconnects.

A generic ifconfig language for selecting attributes or flags would be
very helpful.
