Comment (by asn):

 LGTM. I think the section added is a fine overview section. Perhaps it can
 even be moved above section `2. State instances`, so that it's beneath the
 motivation section like a true overview section would be.

 WRT how much detail is necessary, I think it could be useful to include
 some further information on what it means to ''use'' a circuit or to let
 it ''wait''. This has to do with how streams are assigned to circuits, and
 perhaps it would be useful for readers. Anyhow, this does not need to
 happen in this ticket; it's just some information that would have been
 useful to me when I originally read the proposal.
