they both suxalot. both of them are ugly, and people tend to avoid ugly 
things. i believe that singal/slot concept must have some support in the 
compiler. i don't want to throw all that stupid templates everywhere, and 
i don't want to mixin things manually. i want to tell the compiler that 
this method is @signal, that method is @slot, and compiler will happily 
do the hidden things for me. the same with `connect` and `emit`. ah, and 
`emit` must be keyword, just like in Qt.

i will do that in Aliced eventually.

the only thing i'm unsure is `connect`: i still can't think out the nice 
syntax for it. maybe i'll reintroduce that nice C arrow ("->"), but this 
time for good. ;-)
