Comment:

 This question is partly answered on the website here:
 https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq#Proxychains

 And a full answer is here:

 There is no Tor config option for extra hops.
 We already tell people not to modify the Tor source code.
 A specific warning about extra hops isn't needed, and might be counter-
 productive.
