It hides the situations that may cause problems.  Just found a new one
today on Windows:

Multiple senders are unreliable on one host.  Receivers should be ok, OS
stack forgiving, and as long as congestion control is not enabled.

I would think the IPC route is trivial:

s = zmq_socket (ctx, ZMQ_PUB);
zmq_connect (s, "pgm://eth0;239.192.0.1:7500");
zmq_connect (s, "ipc://loopback/7500");
