 Hi Nick. I'm expanding stem to take advantage of the 'GETINFO
 net/listener/*' options. Presently the spec simply says...

 {{{
     "net/listeners/or"
     "net/listeners/dir"
     "net/listeners/socks"
     "net/listeners/trans"
     "net/listeners/natd"
     "net/listeners/dns"
     "net/listeners/control"
     A space-separated list of the addresses at which Tor is listening for
     connections of each specified type.  [New in Tor 0.2.2.26-beta.]
 }}}

 Output is usually a quoted, space separated listing of 'address:port',
 such as...

 {{{
 % telnet localhost 9051
 Trying 127.0.0.1...
 Connected to localhost.
 Escape character is '^]'.
 AUTHENTICATE
 250 OK
 GETINFO net/listeners/control
 250-net/listeners/control="127.0.0.1:9051"
 250 OK
 }}}

 This led me to believe that the output would always be IPv4 address and
 port tuples. However, turned out that for control sockets it's
 different...

 {{{
 % socat UNIX-CONNECT:/tmp/tor/socket STDIN
 AUTHENTICATE
 250 OK
 GETINFO net/listeners/control
 250-net/listeners/control="unix:/tmp/tor/socket"
 250 OK
 }}}

 It would be nice if the spec better detailed what callers can expect to
 receive. Another question I have is if tor will always use '127.0.0.1' for
 localhost - I thought I recalled seeing '0.0.0.0' at one point but I might
 be misremembering.

 Cheers! -Damian
