i wonder how hard it would be to try and fetch *all* of a hidden service's
descriptors (not "try and fetch the first one i can get"), and then to
compare them.

one would either need to patch tor itself, or one could do it via Stem, but
they would need to do the fetching itself via a tor circuit. might be a
useful diagnostic tool/thingie, hm.
