The mcast list in the core is soley for listing subscriptions for
inbound - ie receive. Abusing it for send-side is probably the wrong
direction overall.

send-side addressing is always done with the neighbour table. If core
net infrastructure is to be done here it makes alot more sense to
store multicast IP's in the neighbour table and drive the join
lifetime from that side.

[mloop is not the same as IB send-only, IB send only means no receive
at all, from anyone]
