Comment:

 Don't have too much to comment on here, but just reporting back so folks
 know I saw it.

 Since AFAIK all of the mobile implementations (including the in-process
 iOS "tor as thread" way of doing things) happily use a TCP or unix socket
 control port, this is a much lower priority for me (nice to have someday)
 than #24107 / #23847 (which fixes a platform-specific stability issue).
