Both of the above are true.

0mq is mainly about communication between multiple endpoints which makes 
PAIR kind of out of scope.

However, using pair where raw TCP connection would be appropriate makes 
the task much easier for the user.

The trade-off here is between ideological purity and ease-of-use.
