Hi, not really a comment regarding the actual implementation but I 
think that good debug support for signales & slots helps a lot in using 
it. What do I mean with this:

- a way to dump in a human readable form the run-time connections. 
Which function / class / etc. is currently attached to which signal?
- automatic logging like a call-stack in a debugger to get an idea when 
which signal is acted on
- a way to get the order of activation for debugging to identify 
unwanted side-effects
- etc.

Big signal & slot implementaitons can be hard to debug, this should be 
as simple as possible.
