[Interest] Are slots even needed these days?

[Constantin Makshin]

Another thing I personally don't like in the new connection syntax is
that it forces signals to be public, making it possible to do all type
of wonders by faking/simulating events on behalf of other objects.

For example:
QLineEdit* edit = new QLineEdit("foo");
// ...
edit->textChanged("bar");
