This was indeed already discussed, albeit not for ULAs, but link-local
addresses (fe80::/64). IIRC, Jason rejected it citing the KISS
principle -- and I fully agree with that. Adding a hundred small
features useful for certain corner cases is a sure way to transform
wireguard into a behemoth of ipsec/openvpn dimensions. :)

Cheers,
