I agree that using the empty string for "all interfaces" would make
sense. (You might also want a way to say "all local interfaces", i.e.
ipv4 and ipv6 localhost. Perhaps it would make sense to send the
string "localhost" on this case, or more generally a dns name for the
interfaces you want to bind).
