/**
 * Signals and Slots are an implementation of the Observer Pattern.
 * Essentially, when a Signal is emitted, a list of connected Observers
 * (called slots) are called.
 *
 * There have been several D implementations of Signals and Slots.
 * This version makes use of several new features in D, which make
 * using it simpler and less error prone. In particular, it is no
 * longer necessary to instrument the slots.

 *
 * Bugs:
 *      Slots can only be delegates formed from class objects or
 *      interfaces to class objects. If a delegate to something else
 *      is passed to connect(), such as a struct member function,
 *      a nested function or a COM interface, undefined behavior
 *      will result.
 *
 *      Not safe for multiple threads operating on the same signals
 *      or slots.
