Comment:

 I've got the rate-limiter in branch "bug2822."  I also have the client-
 side of checking for localhost and .local.

 For the "special-case localhost", what about ".localdomain" and
 "localhost." etc,etc?  And where is this exit-side check supposed to be?
 I think that's handled by the code that checks for exit attempts to
 private addresses, and doesn't need a separate localhost check.  Am I
 missing something?
