Comment (by anon):

 Access to control port is contentious; per nickm: "I'm not sure exposing
 control-port stuff to torsocks is the right move.  The control port
 exposes lots of functionality that torsocks shouldn't really touch, and
 requires authenticators of various sorts."

 coderman: "exposing control port a good concern; someone has a GETINFO
 proxy just for this, odly enough"

 no GETINFO unless added to torsocks for another reason? (said another way,
 don't add GETINFO for Socks discovery)
