A reactor needs to be able to wait on multiple sockets, system file
handles, and timers, at the same time. A router socket is never more
than a part of that. You could wrap the work that applications do into
reusable code but it would sit on top of libzmq and if you did it
fully you'd get something at the same level as Zyre.
