Hello!

I'm the upstream on #776454, and I'm closing the upstream ticket as
"not a bug" based on the reasoning described at
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/14450#comment:5 :

"""
Going to close this as "not a bug" ; the part of this where we echo
the .onion address is likely to result in bad behavior.
Like, if somebody does:
% bogus-app --socks4-proxy 127.0.0.1:9050 `tor-resolve $hostname`
then the altered behavior would cause them to try to resolve the
.onion address over DNS.
(If they have socks4a or socks5 with hostnames, they don't need to be
using tor-resolve here. Other options include torsocks, and
automaphostsonresolve.)
"""

Please let me know if i'm wrong here or missing something important.
