Well, you specifically control your system. I'd also be happy to add some (maybe a bit hidden) commands to print out _just_ the (numeric) type, to aid scripting? All I'm trying to say with that though is that you shouldn't rely on specific output formatting, particularly not with scan results and "iw list" etc.
