signal must match the signature of the receiving slot. (In fact a
slot may have a shorter signature than the signal it receives
because it can ignore extra arguments.) Since the signatures are
- compatible, the compiler can help us detect type mismatches.

Signals and slots are loosely coupled: A class which emits a
signal neither knows nor cares which slots receive the signal.
Qt's signals and slots mechanism ensures that if you connect a
