Another point that I don't think has been mentioned... however much you
want to argue about functions being able to do anything, the fact
remains that signals/slots are distinct enough from simply calling
functions as to be noteworthy... and an annotation makes it dead simple
to *find* every place where *any* signal is being emitted.

Take away the annotation, and you have to search for individual signals.
