I think it's because nanocat does it. And the reason is because
nanocat is just a simple utility to test how things work. And the
simpler it is to use, the better. I.e. what do you think default
should be? No subscriptions? The ``nanocat --sub`` is useless without
subscriptions (note, unlike with raw sockets, you can't add
subscriptions on the fly in nanocat). Require ``--subscribe``
argument? I think it's too verbose for simple cases of debugging. All
in all, if you really connect with nanocat to some huge production
system, with millions of record per second, you are probably smart
enough to add ``--subscribe`` argument.
