Excellent idea. It also means that --interface is unnecessary and
more than one interface IP maybe be printed by the issue file.

Implemented, merged into master branch. For example:
lo = \4{lo}
em1 = \4{em1} (IPv6 \6{em1})
virbr0 = \4{virbr0}
The {..} is optional argument, if not given, host IP is printed.
