[consult] Feature request: whois incorporating an rwhois sub-query

true, doing it right is preferred...but removing a speed bump just may be easier.  Or...providing the steps to get over the hurdle...

Personally, I think this is the incorrect solution to the problem, but,
given that the community seems to oppose the correct solution
(the implementation of policy requiring that RWHOIS servers used
for ARIN policy compliance be visible to the internet), I would support
this alternative under the current circumstances.
