 Replying to [comment:8 yawning]:
 > I looked into implementing support for this and do not believe it will
 be difficult, but I think the proposal requires PT_MANAGED_TRANSPORT_VER
 bump.

 That's not necessarily so. We could add a client stdout message that means
 "I have understood and will obey your proxy request," and tor could avoid
 sending anything through the PT until it gets that message.
