 Replying to [comment:11 ahf]:
 > But it's not just for binding it is also for being used as source
 address for outgoing connections. Maybe `TOR_PT_OUTBOUND_ADDRESS` ?

 I don't follow: isn't "use this address for an outgoing connection" also
 called "binding"? And that's why we call it `OutboundBindAddress` in tor?
