That's my point: it's a reasonable feature to ask that any good IDE implement.
Qt is not an irrelevant chunk of C++, so understanding what a signal is and
helping developers is very much in an IDE's scope. At the very least, they
should have a feature to detect whether the function being called is code in
this project, another project, or is generated during the build.
Whether the feature will be implemented is a whole other story. But it's
reasonable to ask.
