Thanks for the feedback.  Yes, ZeroMQ has excellent documentation,
which in fact I've used to also learn Nanomsg (there's plenty of
overlap in concepts and patterns).  Nanomsg's docs are unfortunately
a bit lacking, particularly where edge cases and gotchas are concerned.

Did you look at Nanomsg purely out of curiosity, or did it offer
something that you found lacking in ZeroMQ?
