/// A convenient API for defining transports for use in Tor and elsewhere.
///
/// This type's role is to let the implementor just define a replacement way to
/// pass bytes around, and return something that we can use in place of a
/// TcpStream.
///
/// This is the trait you should probably implement if you want to define a new
/// [`ChannelFactory`](crate::factory::ChannelFactory) that performs Tor over
/// TLS over some stream-like type, and you only want to define the stream-like
/// type.
///
/// To convert a [`TransportImplHelper`] into a
/// [`ChannelFactory`](crate::factory::ChannelFactory), wrap it in a
/// `ChanBuilder`.
//
// TODO: Maybe move this to a separate crate so that tor-ptmgr can be
// used without having to depend on chanmgr.
