I agree with the idea, but am not sure if "ifconfig" is the right place
to add this functionality.

Could it be added to route(1) instead? It could probably be generalized then,
like "kill all open connections using this route", and optionaly specify
a route via an interface, meaning "all routes pointing to this interface".

Anyway, a PR is not the right forum to discuss new ideas, let's please move
this to tech-kern.
