Not sure if it's possible to have more than one loopback interface but 
on the other hand to not have a '0' appended to the name would mean 
extra coding to handle the special case of the loopback-interface. It's 
easier to just pretend that it's a normal NIC just like any other 
(though the driver does not require any special hardware).

That's my guess anyway.
