Until now there has not been a need for this. In general and probably best
common practice is to not mix BGP and OSPF. Instead OSPF is building the
underlaying network to run BGP on top of. This is why benno@ was asking
for the use case.

By the way, because of the nature of OSPF it does not make sense to tag
routes by interface, doing it by area could be an option but that comes
with some edge cases that need further inspection.
