Comment (by s7r):

 Replying to [comment:10 teor]:
 > No, the outbound address is left unspecified by Tor unless configured
 explicitly by the user. So the OS determines the outbound address, which
 can vary depending on the destination (routing table) on multi-homed
 systems.

 Sounds good enough. Probably most users who need this setting take care of
 it at upstream level such as routing table or firewall rules - so this
 should be fine. Patching `Address` as you said is the way to go.
