Question from someone who doesn't really understand the code... 
Presently, if I have a /32 route defined, I can't add an alias to the 
same address to an interface. I was expecting this changes to make that 
possible, which would be really useful to me, and it seems the 
suggestion above would make that not possible again...

So, just in case I'm reading the situation correctly, here's my request 
for it not to happen. :-)
