Interesting question. Since this is related with the rtnetlink
subsystem, I'm unsure that this feature naturally belongs to
libnfnetlink nor to libnetfilter_queue.

However, IMO libnetfilter_queue should provide enough features to let
userspace apps implement filtering without requiring extra dependencies.
BTW, what are the benefits of dumping the index instead of the interface
name in this particular case?

Patrick?
