There are two parts to the problem.

1. Compile time checking. POSIX doesn't have it (fd is a generic int). 
0MQ has none so far. However, if people are enthusiastic about writing

     zmq_context_t *ctx = zmq_context (1);

instead of

     void *ctx = zmq_context (1);

in such extent that it counterbalances the API bloat, I can add that to 
zmq.h

2. Run time checking. POSIX does that. 0MQ does not. We could add that, 
especially as it requires no change to API.

It should be noted that the two are not mutually exclusive.
