Proposed first step: compose and implement a wide and flat API for a
Linux network appliance, such as a DD-WRT installation, separating all
possible router configuration operations into explicit categories,
thereby making it possible to, for instance, provide a capability key

internal IP address only, without bothering with a users table at all,
and so on.
