Perhaps something like:

   --socks5-hostname <host[:port]> SOCKS5 proxy and pass host name to proxy

?

I guess in the end only people who really understand the implication will use
this anyway, and the rest can read the longer explanation in the man page, so
the short version should only be there to help people find what they're
looking for and then I don't think using 'resolve' in that line will confuse
many people even if it technically might not be correct with tor (and the
likes).
