Comment (by atagar):

 Oh wait, just realized GETINFO 552 responses are also used to indicate
 'the getinfo parameter you requested does not exist'. I have another
 ticket where the network team asked for Stem to rely on 552 codes meaning
 *that* rather than parsing the message text to determine if tor is
 indicating that or something else...

 We can't have it both ways. Tor either needs to provide unique error
 statuses for different issues or we callers will need to parse exception
 messages. :/

 Gonna resolve the above ticket in favor of this since it's unactionable on
 our side.
