Clear configurations prevent errors by making them them more obvious.
Above example equals exactly to:
protocol bgp ibgp_my_other_router {
local 2001:db8:1000::1 as 64515;
neighbor 2001:db8:1045::6 as 64515;
export all;
}
...except just the formatting already exposed an invalid source address.
Another example of when you would need a specific source address is
when mixing native and tunnelled IPv6.
