The name? Probably so, but it won the role in a casting competition ;)
First names were even uglier and less to the point, for example,
"nomacro_if_addr" - does it handle not-logging or not-handling at all?
And it's not like we're gonna see it every day on each installation...

That was another option I considered (first, comparing the efforts),
but I was not sure if absence or emptiness of {if_addr} could be a
transient error - i.e. that something could be passed with some
milter API streams, and not passed with others... So I decided to
make a config toggle, to be certain :)
