Comment:

 The patch itself is a decent proof-of-concept, but it is not mergeable as-
 is: its indentation style does not match the surrounding code, and there
 is no option to control the behavior here.

 Also, it looks like the people requesting this behavior here do not yet
 agree about what the best behavior is to suit their needs; I think that we
 should defer future implementation work on this until there is a rough
 consensus on what Tor should do.
