I see, tor already implements such a flag, ISO_STREAM.

/** Isolate based on destination port */
#define ISO_DESTPORT    (1u<<0)
/** Isolate based on destination address */
...
/** Isolate all streams (Internal only). */
#define ISO_STREAM      (1u<<7)

This looks like a reasonable addition to me - an addition that could be
backported to 0.2.3.x.
