May we have `$Build.StartedBy.IPAddress$` ?  
I have a build configuration setup for users to update their development app dns ip address  
Right now I build their DNS record name from:

```auto
$Utils.GetString($Build.StartedBy.FirstName$).ToLower()$-$Utils.GetString($build.StartedBy.LastName$).ToLower()$

```

And get their IP from the variable input form where they must enter it manually.  
I though it would be nice to have the IP exposed in $Build.StartedBy.IPAddress$  
This way they could simply hit the quick start build button and not be bothered with checking their ipconfig output and such.

Hi Arik,

Yes. This is a bit of a niche request, but it should be easy enough for us to implement.
