[zeromq-dev] Proposal for a revised zlist API

[Pieter Hintjens]

:-) I started, by coincidence, to make some of these changes already.

Hope to have this ready soon. Nothing dramatic, just the global callbacks.

We can take the other changes one by one. Breaking the v2 API is not
an option, and renaming zlist to another name isn't plausible either
IMO. So we may rename some methods, like zlist_dup, which make broken
assumptions (autofree, in that case).
