[zeromq-dev] question about czmq zctx_destroy

[KIU Shueng Chuan]

I think even if a method has taken ownership, it should still be legitimate
for the programmer to hold on to the reference till the end of the life
cycle of the object.

Eg, zctx manages destruction of sockets, but we still hold a reference to
the socket.
