Huh?  I'm not sure I understand that question.  I see multiple v6 addresses
on my machines all the time - so the networking code on Linux, FreeBSD,
Windows, MacOS definitely handles it.

Just advertise a second prefix via RA from your v6 router, and watch your
machines happily auto-configure two global v6 addresses...

Now, whether the combination of "multiple source addresses and multiple
destination addresses" usually leads to "the optimum pair being used for
a given connection" is a completely different question - and as far as
I understand, *that* part is really lacking.
