Comment(by nickm):

 Replying to [comment:2 arma]:
 > We have a competing convention that "address" is a char *, and addr is a
 tor_addr_t (used to be a uint32_t).

 I don't think that's competing; none of my renamings changes address <->
 addr, and you can say "lookup" or "parse" whatever.

 > Are you still planning to wait until after the ipv6 conversion?

 No; we can't wait forever.

 > ALl of that said, yes, the current situation is not good, and your
 suggested fix sounds good.

 great.
