    """Connect ``receiver`` to ``sender`` for ``signal``.

    - ``receiver``: A callable Python object which is to receive
      messages/signals/events.  Receivers must be hashable objects.

      If weak is ``True``, then receiver must be weak-referencable (more
      precisely ``saferef.safe_ref()`` must be able to create a
      reference to the receiver).
    
      Receivers are fairly flexible in their specification, as the
      machinery in the ``robustapply`` module takes care of most of the
      details regarding figuring out appropriate subsets of the sent
      arguments to apply to a given receiver.

      Note: If ``receiver`` is itself a weak reference (a callable), it
      will be de-referenced by the system's machinery, so *generally*
      weak references are not suitable as receivers, though some use
      might be found for the facility whereby a higher-level library
      passes in pre-weakrefed receiver references.

    - ``signal``: The signal to which the receiver should respond.
    
      If ``All``, receiver will receive all signals from the indicated
      sender (which might also be ``All``, but is not necessarily
      ``All``).
        
      Otherwise must be a hashable Python object other than ``None``
      (``DispatcherError`` raised on ``None``).
        
    - ``sender``: The sender to which the receiver should respond.
    
      If ``Any``, receiver will receive the indicated signals from any
      sender.
        
      If ``Anonymous``, receiver will only receive indicated signals
      from ``send``/``send_exact`` which do not specify a sender, or
      specify ``Anonymous`` explicitly as the sender.

      Otherwise can be any python object.
        
    - ``weak``: Whether to use weak references to the receiver.
      
      By default, the module will attempt to use weak references to
      the receiver objects.  If this parameter is ``False``, then strong
      references will be used.

    Returns ``None``, may raise ``DispatcherTypeError``.
