[zeromq-dev] Broadcast mode for ZMQ_STREAM

[Justin Karneges]

Hey Jens,
 
My initial thought is that this doesn't feel right. You'd be limited to
broadcast (making it a kind of substandard PUB), and you'd need to
change the "mute state" behavior too (otherwise a single slow client
triggers EAGAIN).
