 While working on Ricochet to make it the a post-TCP/IP IM client, special
 and I have been considering ways to sandbox it further. We decided it
 would be nice to have a way to mark a given tor SOCKS (unix socket)
 listener as only allowing connections to .onion addresses.

 This is similar to setting the option to not allow IPv4 - except we don't
 want DNS, IPv6 or any connection except to an onion service.
