I just commited that, you can try it.

OTOH, in most cases it is unreasonable to export interface addresses
from protocol 'direct' to OSPF. It is usually much better to just add
these interfaces as OSPF interfaces (possibly with 'stub yes' option)
and the OSPF protocol propagates their addresses itself (using stub
records in router-LSA).
