Feature request: static routes to not directly connected gateways

Hi,
It would be nice to be able to use "indirect" gateways, i.e. which are
routed via interface but are not part of interface networks, like this:
protocol static {
route 10.1.1.0/24 via "eth0";
route 10.2.1.0/24 via 10.1.1.1;
}
Linux supports this, so it would be really useful and opens interesting
opportunities, like automatically adding routes once specified gateway
becomes reachable after adding an interface-bound route (either outside
or inside of Bird).
One possible application (from my actual configuration) is routing of
specific networks through VPN gateway - the gateway itself is in /30
transfer network (and this could not be changed easily) so I could not
make it reachable directly on more than one Bird router simultaneously.
Please consider this for next release :)
Thank you!
