[zeromq-dev] Can ZeroMQ clients function within a single thread only?

Apologies on behalf of Gmail being a bit too smart and sending my e-mail
before it was complete! Here is the rest of my mail:

ZeroMQ can help me mimic multi-threading if I can send asynchronous
messages to a server process and wait for the results from within my
function(s), but this requires that ZeroMQ's asynchronous sockets do not
create any other threads. Looking at the architecture doc, I'm a bit
confused about how asynchronous messaging is implemented, since it mentions
threads created to send/receive messages.

Using asynchronous I/O over networking would (possibly?) allow me to send
messages without creating threads, but I'm not sure if this is what ZeroMQ
