Fair enough, nice catch.
Here's what I did, then:

-        [ 'proxy|p:s', "what to pass to curl's --socks5-hostname" ],
+        [ 'proxy|p:s', "what to pass to curl's --socks5-hostname (if unset, environment variables may affect curl's behavior -- see curl(1) for details)" ],

Done (19b552f) -- yeah, that's the bare minimum. I'm not sure if, and
how, we would want to deeper dive into checking that Tor itself works
as advertised.

If the current state of this branch looks good enough, I suggest you
build an ISO from devel + feature/separate_Tor_streams, and "run"
these tests before merging.

Cheers,
