 See also the discussion in #2113 -- it's not exactly obvious what your
 "current" exit is, since what circuit you'll use depends on the
 characteristics of the next stream.

 That said, it's easier to know what circuit your last stream *did* attach
 to, and the control protocol exports this info pretty well; here it's just
 a question of how TBB should display it to users.
