No.  It wouldn't check the (non-existing) incoming interface.
The "from me" pattern does not check any interfaces.  It only
checks that the source IP in the packet is one of the locally
configured IP addresses.

"Python tricks" is a tough one, cuz the language is so clean. E.g.,
C makes an art of confusing pointers with arrays and strings, which
leads to lotsa neat pointer tricks; APL mistakes everything for an
array, leading to neat one-liners; and Perl confuses everything
period, making each line a joyous adventure <wink>.
