I would argument that it /does/when you have legions of people out there 
already conditioned to this:

    ...
    public slots:
        void  bar();
        void  foo();
    ...

instead of:

    ...
        // This is a slot!!!
        void foo();
    ...
        // Oh, hey, this is a slot too!!!
        void bar();
    ...

As a Qt developer, I find the former more elegant and self-documenting.
