Comment(by atagar):

 > From what I can understand, this isn't possible with the microdescriptor
 exit policy because it only contains a list of ports.

 That seems weird. What is the use of the microdescriptor exit policy then?
 The point of an exit polity is to let the client know if you're willing to
 service a particular destination or not. If it doesn't answer that
 question, then how is it used by a tor client?

 We probably need to answer this question before we can figure out a decent
 object model. Sebastian might be a good person to ask since I vaguely
 recall that he was involved with the introduction of microdescriptor exit
 policies.

 Note that this doesn't block us from making a class for *descriptor* exit
 policies. Making that and tests would be a fine first step (and be
 something that we could finally tie into the Descriptor class).
