 If I set SocksPort 9050 and also SocksPort 9060, then if I understand
 correctly, Tor automatically isolates stream requests that come in on the
 different socksports.

 But the man page doesn't mention this level of isolation. Maybe because
 there is no flag for influencing it?

 It sure seems helpful to have a full sentence in the socksport intro
 stanza explaining what gets isolated by default, and what can be isolated
 by changing options. Or maybe there is a better place to put that than the
 socksport section?
