That would break backwards-compatibility. Short answer: no.

Longer answer: I doubt it makes sense to start adding command switches
for every single use case - especially when the "feature" is only
aesthetic. I don't mind bringing up this idea as part of new thresholds
formats though as they will include flags for controlling output format
and such - by extension this could be considered.

OTOH, you can:

1. Load the required MIBs so that the OID gets translated (Don't just
load them all as it may be significantly slower - dependencies gets
automatically loaded anyway)

2. "Fix" the graphing application - for instance I use Cacti and I don't
 have this limitation.
