Expected behavior

I can access all containers by ip address from my OSX host directly.

Actual behavior

I can't access containers by network unless I map ports to 127.0.0.1.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. docker run --name=httpd -d httpd
2. docker inspect httpd extract IPAddress from the output (e.g 172.17.0.2)
3. curl http://172.17.0.2/ - expected to get the apache page, but get a timeout

Notes

I understand that the reason for this not working, is that this is due to the documented fact that there is no docker0 interface available on osx (https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/networking/#/there-is-no-docker0-bridge-on-osx).
For our workflow (allowing the host to access containers directly from the host, without port mapping) it is pretty crucial. So my main question is, if there are plans to support this or if it is an impossible to overcome technical hurdle.
