/etc/hostname.if convention

Hello,

can anyone tell me, whether the current naming convention of
/etc/hostname.if is because of history of /etc/hostname (which has been
extended) or if there are other reasons. I am just curious, since it is
not very descriptive compared to /etc/mygate or /etc/myname.

As I say, I don't suggest to change it, I am just curious where it comes
from. Thanks!
