Ok, I may misremember something.

Currently I'm experimenting with property binding in C++. I created a
simple class which can update the destination property based on an
arbitrary expression if any of the "source" properties change.
For example I wanted to create two independent QWidget, and I wanted
to bind the weight of the first to the weight of the second.
So something like we do a lot with QML elements.
But the QWidget's weight property doesn't have a corresponding
weightChanged() signal (nor sizeChanged() or something higher level).
Actually it doesn't have any NOTIFY signal at all.

But if we can add more notify signal any time for existing properties
then it's ok, I don't have more questions.
