Comment(by mr-4):

 While on the subject of MapAddress functionality, I have a suggestion: As
 far as I know, MapAddress deals with exact domain names only (in other
 words "MapAddress *.google.com *.google.com.<exit_node_hash>.exit" won't
 work).

 It would be nice if I could have the ability to use wildcards at the very
 least, but regex ideally, as part of the MapAddress mapping.

 One simple case scenario - suppose I want to map every access to, say,
 domain.com, using a particular exit node. On the provider.com's side, they
 may use load-balancing and redirect all my requests to different servers -
 nodeXXX.provider.com. In such a  case, I have to guess in advance what
 server (or servers) I may be redirected to and then define MapAddress for
 each possible combination of these.

 This is very inconvenient and cumbersome, not to mention that as soon as
 new "node" is registered, my MapAddress is not going to function as
 intended.
