Comment(by nickm):

 The intended behavior of AllowDotExit 0 is that .exit should still work
 with MapAddress.  Note that the behavior is only documented to affect
 addresses from the client, not addresses from the controller or the
 configuration:
 {{{
     If enabled, we convert "www.google.com.foo.exit" addresses on the
     SocksPort/TransPort/NATDPort into "www.google.com" addresses that exit
 from
     the node "foo". Disabled by default since attacking websites and exit
     relays can use it to manipulate your path selection. (Default: 0)
 }}}

 But there is a bug (#3940) that stops MapAddress from working right here.
 It has a fix under review that could use some testing.
