That would be helpful, but not perfect. Ideally, TCP wouldn't be used in
Tor's operations at all; any TCP-based protocol using Tor would do its
own housekeeping. In other words - just as it does in things like
Hamachi and OpenVPN - Tor acts (from the program's point of view) just
like the underlying packet network.

In short, tunneling TCP over TCP is something that should be avoided
when possible, since only one set of TCP sequence numbers should be in
play at any given time, for any given socket.
