"Yes" is a fine answer but it's not clear what question you were
answering... :-)

I assume we cannot mix two sets of socket types, and that devices will
also be different (ZMQ_QUEUE won't work with XREP/XREQ, I guess).  So
from a usability viewpoint it would be sensible to place these in a
separate pattern, e.g. asynchronous-service (AS), giving us:

* ZMQ_AS_CLIENT, ZMQ_AS_SERVER for sockets.

Thoughts?
