[zeromq-dev] zmq_close() semantics and handling outstanding messages

[Andrew Hume]

opening and closing lots of sockets is arguably bad. agreed.

not being able to close off a communication channel with  
deterministic semantics is bad.

i don't understand the difficulty of being able to ask the publisher,
that is someone who has done zmq_send's, if all those sends have been  
sent.
