I hope it works!  If somebody wants to test it, that would be much appreciated.

Hidden services are already isolated from each other, and from non-hs
client traffic.  The only additional feature for stream isolation to
provide would be isolating some streams sent to a hidden service from
another -- for example, so that if you have SocksPort 9050 and
SocksPort 9051 defined, any streams to a given HS over port 9050 will
be sent on a different circuit than streams over 9051.

I believe that works, though there could well be efficiency issues there.
