[zeromq-dev] czmq : what about zbeacon_t using a shadow zctxt_t

[Pieter Hintjens]

This would work, yes. The cost would be a more complex API and the
payoff would only be worth it if you are using a lot of beacons in
your app, which few people do. It was discussed before and not done
for this reason. It's better to keep the API as minimal as possible
for the majority of users.
