 I need this in one of my setups. I have fixed prefixes and adresses,
 but the (stupid, provider enforced) external router will not route
 traffic to additional prefixes unless I ask it for a prefix delegation
 first. I know the answer (it is all fixed) and don't do anything with the
 result.
 
 Not sure if this should or need to be part of this man page, just noting that
 there are cases to use something similar.
