For what it is worth, I posted a patch that does exactly this back in
March:

https://lists.zx2c4.com/pipermail/wireguard/2020-March/005222.html

Reviews or user tests would be greatly appreciated.

You can also pull from https://github.com/toreanderson/wireguard-tools
if you prefer. The commit in question is here:

https://github.com/toreanderson/wireguard-tools/commit/8305a267ec4259206c0de7f1d3f9cfb8522a3223

There is one bugfix in GitHub compared to the patch I posted to the
list in March - using $REAL_INTERFACE instead of $INTERFACE in wg-
quick/openbsd.bash. I can post the updated patch to the list as well if
you want, just let me know.
