Then you should have used Boost.Signals.

Qt is not the only C++ library out there, and asking it to be everything for 
everyone is unreasonable.

That said, in my experience, if you want signals on templates, you're usually 
going it wrong. You probably intend to use it far away from the GUI layout, 
maybe even in your cenral data model (!= QAbstractItemModel here). Overuse of 
signal-slots can make a program very hard to understand, and possibly also 
slow. If you don't believe, I invite you to study pre-Akonadi KMail code.

Thanks,
Marc
