Object & Handles
=================
In order for a signal to be connected to object, the object must
have Object somewhere in its inheritence tree.

class virtual Object
  {
   public:
     bool is_dynamic();
     bool is_floating();
     Object();
     virtual ~Object();
  };

Objects are 
 - Reference counted
 - Capable of deleting self if told to be managed.


Handles are used for internal memory management.  They are a signature not 
a real class so they can incapsulate any class that has the necessary 
functions.

signature class Handle<ObjType,Policy>
  {
   public:
     operator ObjType*();
     ObjType operator *();
     ObjType* operator ->();

     bool connected();

     Handle& operator =(ObjType*);
     Handle& operator =(ObjType&);
     Handle& operator =(const Handle<O,P> &);

     Handle(ObjType*);
     Handle(ObjType&);
     Handle(const Handle<O,P>&);
  };



Slots
======
Slots are an encapsulation of a callable object.  A factory called slot() 
builds Slots from object/methods, static functions and signals.

class Slot#<rettype,ARGS>: public Object
  {
   public:
     rettype call(ARGS);
     Slot#()
     virtual ~Slot#()
  };

Slots build up in a tree to contain a wide number of connection types.  

There is a class of functions call Adaptors.  Adaptors take a slot
and alter it to a different profile.  

Planned adaptors
  bind - bind callback data starting from the end.
  extend - add dummy arguments to the end of a slot.
  convert - convert the calling arguments with a function. 

Internally slots are just handles to an internal abstract slot
type called Slot#_, which is a pimple on SlotData.  

Slots can not be duplicated as they may have a large list of internal
data.  You should not reuse a slot in multiple lists.


Signals
=======
A list of slots can be called with a signal.  A signal is considered a 
slot container.

class Signal#<RETURN,ARGS,Policy>
  {
   public:
     typedef Slot#<RETURN,ARGS> InSlotType;
     typedef Slot#<MARSH_RETURN,ARGS> OutSlotType;

     OutSlotType slot();
     Connection connect(InSlotType& s);
     MARSH_RETURN emit(ARGS);
     MARSH_RETURN operator()(ARGS); // alias for emit
     Signal();
     Signal(InSlotType& );
     ~Signal();
  };   

Two typedefs are specified InSlotType and OutSlotType.  InSlotType
is the type taken by this signal for connections.  OutSlotType
is the type of slot this function returns and is determented by
the Marshaller.  In most cases InSlotType and OutSlotType match,
but this is not necessarily the case.  Signals do not need to
have these typedefs, but it eases building new Signal classes from
them.

The basic methods shown there are
  emit - call all slots contained within.
  slot - give away a slot that receive incoming calls.
  connect - insert a slot into the call list.

Slots are removed by calling disconnect on their connections.

There is also the ablity to have a marshaller that takes care of handling 
signal callbacks.  This functionality is dependent on the implementation 
of the signal.  For the basic signal type, the marshaller is a hidden 
template parameter.

Connect() may also take optional implementation dependent arguments
for specifying behavior.  For example, timeout.connect(slot(&foo),10) 
where the second argument it a time in seconds is a good use of
optional connect flags.

Additional functionality may optionally be defined such as
ablity to check if there are any signals attached (empty()) or
remove all connected signals (clear()).  However these are
not a requirement and are implementation dependent.


Connections
=============
Connections are given to the user on each connect to allow individual 
connections to be broken or altered.  

class Connection
  {
   public:
     void disconnect();
     Connection();
  };

They are a handle to the data, so when the last connection goes away and 
the slot is not yet properly held in a Signal the slot will go away.
