-/** \todo
- *  #2542 plans to merge nfd-status with nfdc.
- *  FaceModule class should be changed as follows:
- *  (1) move into ndn::nfd::nfdc namespace
- *  (2) assuming command syntax is similar to Windows NT \p netsh ,
- *      this class can handle command argument parsing as soon as
- *      'face' sub-command is detected
- *  (3) introduce methods to create and destroy faces, and update face attributes
- *
- *  \todo
- *  #3444 aims at improving output texts of nfdc.
- *  Assuming it's worked with or after #2542:
- *  (1) introduce an \p style parameter on formatItemText method to specify desired text style,
- *      such as human friendly style vs. porcelain style for script consumption
- *  (2) upon successful command execute, convert the command result into FaceStatus type,
- *      and use formatItemText to render the result, so that output from status retrieval
- *      and command execution have consistent styles
- *  }
