Doesn't look like anyone's asked for this in the 12+ years since these keys landed (2014), nice find. Every meta key that identifies a specific interface comes in a name/index pair: iif/iifname, oif/oifname, sdif/sdifname. The bridge-master keys are the only ones that are name-only. Closing that API asymmetry could be a legit reason to add it, if someone's keen to write it.
