No, basically, the code in socket_base_t::send/recv deal with the
blocking/non-blocking issue around the process_command call, which
itself call mailbox_t::recv with the appropriate option (block_ and
timeout).  So, the ZMQ options would be selected depending if you call
the process_command from the send or the recv functions of
socket_base_t, and would be used inside the mailbox_t::recv method to
correctly timeout in blocking call.

The active loop would probably be no more required, although I should
ensure the code exit cleanly in blocking mode with timeout (instead of
looping again).
