This would be nice, but I don't see this happening any time soon. Some of it can be emulated with VIP or is already implemented in the binding of GUI, SSH, Unbound and Dnsmasq... the handling of Loopback VIPs is special for Unbound and Dnsmasq as it excludes VIPs in IPv4 not 127.0.0.1.

For GUI and SSH, when selecting a single interface loopback is pulled in as well. We can't terminate these two on loopback alone so everything required should be there already.
