If we had to do it over again, it might make sense to follow Python and make signals *objects* instead of *methods*. Then the code would look like:

  this->emptied.emit(...);

Binary compatibility issue: if it's a member of the class, it can't be added or removed without changing the class's size and layout, so it would tie our
hands for future improvements.

You'd see instead:

    this->emptied().emit(...);
    connect(foo, foo->emptied(), ...);


I like this, then we could finally (and without hacks) have protected and private signals like in Qt 4.

Would also solve the need for qOverload ?
