 Looks fine I think. Bonus points if somebody has tested it. :)

 > Should there be an additional option that says "not even in MapAddress"?
 Maybe.

 I'd say no. It's a pretty esoteric use. "Don't set a torrc option you
 didn't want to set" is probably better advice than adding more code to
 Tor. The goal of AllowDotExit was to protect us against remote hosts that
 can make us ask our socks port for new destinations. There's no analog to
 that with MapAddress.

 > Should there be more documentation that says that AllowDotExit 0 doesn't
 apply to TrackHostExits and MapAddress?  Yes, I think so.

 Yes.
