I would argue that most people know with more certainty the interface
name than the IP address assigned to that interface. Especially in DHCP
cases you would always have to check first what's the IP address, then
put that into the command.
Also think of scripting scenarios, where you definitely don't want to
'sed' the IP address out of ifconfig/ip output before calling
ipaccess-config.
