------------------------------+--------------------------------
 Right now tor doesn't resolve `auto` settings when reporting them via
 `GETCONF`.  This means the controller might need to know beforehand how
 tor will behave for any given `auto` setting, which might change across
 tor versions or even across consensuses.  We should have a way to resolve
 `auto` settings so controllers can discover what setting tor will actually
 use.

 Implementing this could be a lot of work because I think the behavior of
 many `auto` values gets determined by code in the relevant subsystem
 rather than in a centralized place like control.c.
