Perhaps we should implement that flag.

...and, if we do, and we split the lines in verbose mode for IPv6, the -g/--ip-oneline flag would apply both to IPv4 
and IPv6.

If we implement the flag in the next 4.99.x release, that would allow people running that release to use that flag in 
their scripts; if they do so, splitting the IPv6 verbose output, as is done now with the IPv4 verbose output, might 
break fewer scripts.

So, because the change was done in the master branch, should we backport it for 4.99.6?
