kernel table names

  Hello.

  It would be nice to use kernel table names instead of numbers. For example,
linux iproute2 has /etc/iproute2/rt_tables file for name to number mapping.
I don't know about other unixes, but i think they have something like that.
If we had some new option:

kernel table names "/etc/iproute2/rt_tables";

we would use meaningful names instead of numbers:

protocol kernel {
	 scan time 20;
	 import none;
	 export all;
	 kernel table peering1;
}

  Thanks for bird!
