​It was already merged (R​223858).  Looking at /etc/network.subr on a
10.0-RELEASE system shows the eval line.  So, it looks like one can just
add " description something cool to describe interface" to

​the end of the ifconfig_IF= line.

Not as neat and organised as having a separate ifconfig_IF_description
variable to set, but still very much workable.

Thanks for the pointer in the right direction.  Now to play with it at
work.  :)
