Comment (by mikeperry):

 Ok, I did the circuit_should_use_vanguards() function name fixup
 (https://oniongit.eu/mikeperry/tor/commit/47e4055a05c390e726bac4f488d543f07873733d),
 and then squashed it and rebased everything on to master as
 mikeperry/bug13837-squashed. I will also rebase the latest squashed
 bug23101 on top of that.

 I'm not going to make a merge request yet, because that issue you found in
 https://oniongit.eu/mikeperry/tor/commit/7e962536f2d89ab0e2b8dd8821503ed66bd115ac#note_1804
 is concerning. I will be afk from now until Jan 2, so I won't be able to
 fix that until then. So we should just wait on that.
