Again, this is binding-dependant. There's nothing stopping the binding 
from implementing what you described. And I think they should implement 
it. I did it for the Qt binding.

I don't see your point here. We know what signals an interface can emit 
and we can know what interfaces an object possesses. But how that affects 
anything, I fail to see.
