I also use bridge[0-9]+ to create bridges, could you add that as a
recognized bridge interface also?

And if you input "?", something like:

Use the following names to create and configure different types of interfac=
es:

- bond[0-9]: create and configure a bond interface.
- br[0-9] or bridge[0-9]: create and configure a bridge interface.
- $IFACE.[0-9]: create and configure a vlan interface.
- $IFACE: configure a network interface.
