 Frequently people want applications to run in a one-tor-per-app model.
 Sometimes, people want systems to run in a one-tor-per-user model.  The
 main problem here is that some information (like choice of guards) should
 be consistent across all Tors, and some effort (like fetching directory
 information) is needlessly duplicated across all Tors.

 We should look for designs that fix this.
