Not really. For unnumbered ptp links (where sharing of IP addresses
between several interfaces is common), the match is based on interface
ID, which is unique. For numbered ptp links, the match is based on
IP address, but in that case sharing IP addresses (and therefore
network prefixes) is pathological and would cause other problems.
