 arlolra, thanks for mentioning that my comment. Actually, there is simple
 way of isolation that is implemented in Tor browser: different 'tabs'
 (AFAIK) uses different "authentication" string on SOCKS port, and this is
 enough for Tor to provide different circuits. Then, if somebody strictly
 wants to avoid mixing the circuits, he could just restart Tor browser and
 send -1 signal to Tor. However, this would not be so suitable for Tor
 messenger, where one needs to keep long living connection to different
 hosts simultaneously. So, despite "authenticaion method" would work, to be
 sure I prefer to be able to manually specify different SOCKS HOST:PORT for
 different accounts.
