The behavior sounds excellent but needs to be documented, especially
since it breaks the principle that connect/bind order has no effect on
message flow. I'd prefer that the Guide not act as formal
documentation, that should be the man pages. We can obviously expand
on areas that are complex to understand.

I recall from older threads that there are one or two other areas
where bind/connect order does impact message flow, e.g. with PUSH/PULL
and presumably also with DEALER sockets.
