Not sure if I like the names in the first example. SELECT feels wrong
to me in the same way as SUB — why am I getting stuff if I haven't
“selected” anything or “subscribed” to anything?
Maybe something like zmq.STREAM for the socket type and
zmq.SELECT/zmq.REJECT (if/when it gets done) for socket options?
