If you're going to incorporate the pattern names, I'd suggest using
abbreviations, and doing it consistently for all socket types.  And
there are no streams afaic :-)

So:

ZMQ_PIPE_OUT, ZMQ_PIPE_IN, ZMQ_PUBSUB_OUT, ZMQ_PUBSUB_IN

and maybe

ZMQ_REQREP_CLIENT and ZMQ_REQREP_SERVER
ZMQ_REQREP_CLIENT_ASYNC and ZMQ_REQREP_SERVER_ASYNC
ZMQ_PEER_NODE

/me continues to plead for consistency.
