IS-IS not supporting/doing IPv4 next hop routing for unnumbered interfaces?

[hvisage]

Though Openfabric will happily insert onlink routes on unnumbered interfaces, it seems that IS-IS "needs" to have an IPv4 address on the interface(s), else it doesn't have next hops to insert.

I've searched high and low, and couldn't find any setting I've missed, and the source code haven't been too help full to see/understand if I'm missing something or if the needed haven't been coded into IS-IS yet.
