Comment (by nickm):

 Replacing torrc parsing in rust could be fun but we don't expect hostile
 input there.

 `buffers.c` would be an interesting candidate, since it's low-level,
 performance-critical, and security-critical.

 Nearly everything in src/tools is interesting but unlikely to be security-
 critical (in the sense that it doesn't need to handle tricky hostile
 inputs.)
