An "exit enclave" is when a service operates a Tor exit node with an
exit policy permitting exiting to that service. Tor will automagically
extend circuits built to that host from three hops to four, such that
your traffic will exit on localhost of the service you are intending to
use. This means that users will use DDG's node when building circuits
that terminate at duckduckgo.com or whatever.
