[Swan-dev] better name for {left,right}ifaceip?

[Antony Antony]

summary s/iface-ip/interface-ip/
Disable the keyword  until the functionality is added.
syntax interface-ip=1.2.3.3/24

Antony foresee new type ttipcider(), as there are objections to reuse 
subnet(). We will see when we add the code. If the subnet is left alone 
without port and protocol it can used for ttipcider().

Additionally:
suggests to  leave subnet as without ports and protocol, and create 
traffic_selectior() for parsing keyword subnet from our config.

leftvti=192.0.1.254/24 will conflict with interface-ip=192.0.1.254

vti has its own lifecycle. Last I herd was, remove VTI completely, soon, as 
soon as 3.31?
