 (Opening ticket after discussion in #tor-dev)

 The tor control service sends replies in multiple lines from Tor to the
 controller, each line starting with a status code. The documentation,
 however, says nothing about the consistency guarantees of these status
 codes over multiple lines.

 If it is indeed correct that these status codes are not supposed to change
 within a single reply from Tor to controller, the documentation at
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/control-spec.txt should be
 improved.
