 The discussion at http://archives.seul.org/or/dev/Jul-2010/msg00021.html
 deals with how best to solve the problem of keeping data from different
 applications on different circuits.

 We could improve the situation pretty cheaply by allowing ports in the
 LongLivedPorts directive to get circuits for their own exclusive use. In
 other words, implement the original proposal at the above link (enforcing
 separate circuits per port) but apply it where it's needed most and least
 capable of causing lots of extra circuit-building.

Comment:

 I'm going to close this as superseded by proposal 171, which is a much
 better solution than overloading longlivedports.
