Comment:

 Thanks for opening this: I've been thinking about it since I saw this
 email:

 https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2018-November/013561.html

 I've been thinking of the following interface:

 {{{
    DormantOnStart 1|0|auto

    If DormantOnStart is set to 1, then Tor starts up in dormant mode.

    If DormantOnStart is 0 (the default), then Tor starts up in active
    (non-dormant) mode.

    If DormantOnStart is "auto", then Tor starts up in dormant mode UNLESS
    it was active when it last saved its state file, AND it saved its state
    file no more than DormantClientTimeout seconds ago.
 }}}
