"7" and "8" are shorter too ;-P Hehehehe :)

These are disambiguating, documentary, declarative names. I'm not in 
least proposing that we get rid of the current aliases.

I imagine the man page saying 
"ZMQ_PIPELINE_SOCKET_FOR_OUTGOING_MESSAGES_ONLY_NOT_INCOMING_ONLY_OUTGOING_OK_GOT_THAT_QUESTION_MARK 
(ZMQ_POUT for short)"

(The key part being the ZMQ_POUT for short, not the ridiculous 
non-starter long name I just used :)
