I'm just looking at the signals example here:

"Different signals can be added to a class by naming the

have a class raise different signals if possible.
class A {
mixin Signal!() onChanged;
mixin Signal!(int, string) onErrorMsg;
...
}
class B {
private void a_ErrorMsg(int code, string msg) {
writeln("Error code: ", code, ": ", msg);
}
void attachToA(A a) {
a.onErrorMsg.connect(&a_ErrorMsg);
}
void detachFromA(A a) {
a.onErrorMsg.disconnect(&a_ErrorMsg);
}
}
It works perfectly. BUT, keep in mind that a signal connection
doesn't keep your class alive if the GC wants to take it (if the
GC collects your class, it is disconnected). This means that if
you want to keep your listener classes around, they must be
referenced somewhere.
