 Now that #13153 is close to being resolved, it occurs to me that all
 supported (0.2.3.1-alpha and later) hidden services know what optimistic
 data is.

 And by a stroke of luck (or who knows, maybe it was planned), it looks
 like the server-side of the hidden service uses the same code as the exit
 relays do.

 So with a few lines to let clients be willing to do it, we could cut out
 the initial round-trip to hidden service websites for each request from
 Tor Browser!
