[zeromq-dev] Socket type

[john skaller]

Why is a socket a void*, instead of

	struct zmq_socket_type_t* // incomplete type *

? 

The above helps to prevent type errors by preventing conversions from
and to any pointer type other than void* (in C) (at least without a cast).
In C++ you get extra safety (C++ doesn't allow conversion from a void*).
