Comment (by teor):

 Replying to [comment:8 nickm]:
 > Hmmm.  I think that for the purpose of this patch the approach that you
 suggest would be fine.
 >
 > But the status quo above is definitely nasty.  I think we should open a
 ticket to add comments explaining the real story of what's going on above
 in the code, and that we also open a ticket to define a few accessor
 functions to provide tor_addr_t and string representations of the final
 target address, proxy-or-final, or whatever other things we actually need.

 For the record, I split off #18720 (initial comment fix) and #18721
 (accessors) for this.
