Possibly you are right, keep hold of that thought! Or even create a ticket on
the bugtracker to ensure it is kept hold of for discussion.

The reason for ZMQ_SNDMORE is that it is an existing tag so using it minimised
the number of changes required.

It seemed consistent enough, and more changes might threaten the acceptance
of the function. Unfortunately this kind of thing often matters more than
getting it right (my experience on C++ committee again, reusing or
overloading keywords was always preferred to new ones even though this
resulted in C++ having the most disgusting syntax).
