Hm. That kind of thing breaks the basic assumption that message has to 
is delivered to the endoint in full before it can be passed to the user. 
Not observing the principle can lead to deadlocks. I would consider 
whether 0MQ is a right tool to solve this kind of problem.

Alternatively, the "message" can be broken into a sequence of smaller 
messages. In such case there's a new messaging pattern needed to 
describe this kind of behaviour.
