-------------------------+---------------------
 After a discussion at the weekly little-t tor meeting on #tor-dev, it
 appears that the code handling SOCKS4/5 connections is a mess:

 {{{
 15:41 < nickm> sad to say, the SOCKS code is a mess right now.  It'll
 probably need significant testing and refactoring before we can think
 about extending it
 }}}

 Considering proposal
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/blob/HEAD:/proposals/229
 -further-socks5-extensions.txt| 229] to extend SOCKS5 for Tor use cases,
 we should work on improving this code base before anything else.

 1) Tests, tests and moar tests
 2) Refactor
 3) Extend
