the stacks #I0, #I1, ... are all independent and have their own routing tables.
you don't use separate stacks just to support several physical interfaces.
you use separate stacks to provide complete isolation of each from the others.
thus you still need to control which routing tables dial checked.
furthermore, one or more stacks can be imported from another machine.
furthermore, dial works across a range of protocols including non-internet ones.
routing tables are internet-specific.

thus you still need to search somehow through the name space, not #I...
nor can routing tables as such be used.

on the other hand, {/net /net.alt} only works for dial for two interfaces,
which does suggest that Something Must Be Done.
