Thats nice! Any timeline for this; 13.0 RELEASE?

My initial wording wasn't correct; wide-dhcp is in fact featureful although buggy when config files get a bit bigger.
Well I'm trying to assign a 64 prefix to two virtual interfaces and one physical from a 56 delegation.
For this config it errors out on parsing the config file ... while I'm 99% certain there is not a problem in it.

interface em0 {
        send rapid-commit;
        send ia-na 1;
        send ia-pd 1;
};

id-assoc na 1 { };

id-assoc pd 1 {
        prefix ::/56 infinity;
        prefix-interface igb0 {
                sla-id 0;
                sla-len 8;
        };
        prefix-interface lo1 {
                sla-id 1;
                sla-len 8;
        };
        prefix-interface tun0 {
                sla-id 2;
                sla-len 8;
        };
};
