That's why I program in APL, but I digress :-)
This is a Pattern Language problem. Whereas Pub and Sub are
relatively well know terms, In and Out are relative and confusing.
What we need is an operational (as opposed to denotational) term to
describe these, as most people don't see anything different about each
end of a physical pipe. Something like Push and Pop, Write and Read,
etc.
Some that come to mind:
Fill and Drain
Entry and Exit
More queue like:
Front and Back
etc.
I like
ZMQ_PIPE_ENTRY and ZMQ_PIPE_EXIT
or similar, I'm sure a plumber would differ :-)
