Comment (by atagar):

 Some other things I'm coming across while testing this...

  * 'tor --dump-config' should provide usage information when no arguments
 are provided. Presently I guess it's just a no-op which is confusing.

 {{{
 atagar at odin:~/Desktop/stem$ tor --dump-config
 atagar at odin:~/Desktop/stem$ tor --dump-config short
 DataDirectory /home/atagar/.tor
 }}}

  * 'tor --dump-config [invalid_option]' gives usage information, but
 doesn't end with a newline.

 {{{
 atagar at odin:~/Desktop/stem$ tor --dump-config foobar
 foobar is not a recognized argument to --dump-config. Please select
 'short', 'non-builtin', or 'full'atagar at odin:~/Desktop/stem$
 }}}

  * Output of 'tor --hash-password' is unnecessarily noisy. Trivial
 improvement would be for '--hash-password' to implicitly include '--hush'.

 {{{
 atagar at odin:~/Desktop/stem$ tor --hash-password foo
