/** @defgroup signal Signals
 * Use sigc::signal::connect() with sigc::mem_fun() and sigc::ptr_fun() to connect a method or function with a signal.
 *
 * @code
 * signal_clicked.connect( sigc::mem_fun(*this, &MyWindow::on_clicked) );
 * @endcode
 *
 * When the signal is emitted your method will be called.
 *
 * signal::connect() returns a connection, which you can later use to disconnect your method.
 * If the type of your object inherits from sigc::trackable the method is disconnected
 * automatically when your object is destroyed.
 *
 * When signals are copied they share the underlying information,
 * so you can have a protected/private sigc::signal member and a public accessor method.
 * A sigc::signal is a kind of reference-counting pointer. It's similar to
 * std::shared_ptr<>, although sigc::signal is restricted to holding a pointer to
 * a sigc::internal::signal_impl object that contains the implementation of the signal.
 *
 * @code
 * class MyClass
 * {
 * public:
 *   typedef sigc::signal<void> MySignalType;
 *   MySignalType get_my_signal() { return m_my_signal; }
 * private:
 *   MySignalType m_my_signal;
 * };
 * @endcode
 *
 * signal and slot objects provide the core functionality of this
 * library. A slot is a container for an arbitrary functor.
 * A signal is a list of slots that are executed on emission.
 * For compile time type safety a list of template arguments
 * must be provided for the signal template that determines the
 * parameter list for emission. Functors and closures are converted
 * into slots implicitly on connection, triggering compiler errors
 * if the given functor or closure cannot be invoked with the
 * parameter list of the signal to connect to.
 *
 * Almost any functor with the correct signature can be converted to a sigc::slot
 * and connected to a signal. See @ref slot "Slots" and sigc::signal::connect().

 * signal_base integrates most of the interface of the derived sigc::signal#

 * A sigc::internal::signal_impl object is dynamically allocated from signal_base
 * when first connecting a slot to the signal. This ensures that empty signals
 * don't waste memory.
 *
 * sigc::internal::signal_impl is reference-counted. When a sigc::signal# object
 * is copied, the reference count of its sigc::internal::signal_impl object is
 * incremented. Both sigc::signal# objects then refer to the same
 * sigc::internal::signal_impl object.
