Right, that's a possible pattern. It's not very intuitive though IMHO,
but all these details should be hidden from the end-user anyway.
Following my intuition I'd say signals are there for an object to tell
others "Hey, I did something" or "Something changed!", whilst methods
are used by an object to tell another object to do something, or
retrieve some information, whilst using a signal to get a returning call
is somewhat the other way around :-)
Anyway, it should work, so I guess I can start writing some testing
code.
Thanks a lot for the ideas, always great to learn something new ;-)
