One could use a 'special' config line - like zip-link does,
but maybe it's time for cleaning up the C:line and append a
new field ... something like 'options' (C(rypt), Z(ip),
W(hatever)).
If I know, the specified uplink supports TLS, I just change
the C:line.
If u have too much time, u could implement a re-negotiation
on active links (if config changes) too, but thats for fun :)
And maybe it might be better to add a general future-friendly
"options negotiation" than implementing special protocol tags
for every new feature.
