Okay, I can appreciate that viewpoint as well. I tend to forget that torrc
is more imperative than declarative. The handling of `ExtORPort` is
consistent, in my testing, with that of SOCKSPort and ORPort: multiple
line cause multiple ports to be opened, with the only error condition
being if you use both port number `0` and something non-`0`. I can see how
it could be useful to open up an additional ExtORPort at a static port
number, for some kind of externally managed pluggable transport
integration, even if that port number is not the one that gets advertised
through `TOR_PT_EXTENDED_SERVER_PORT`.
