[Qt-interest] Forcing a signal "emit" to be queued

Oh yes, I forgot that I could give a signal name to invokeMethod()
too. Though the only 'technical' limitation here is the number of args
that one can pass to invokeMethod (max is 10). Though it might not be
much of an issue in most cases.

As for the singleShot approach, will it have an overhead of creating a
OS  specific timer underneath (even for a timeout of 0)? Not sure how
heavy creation/destruction of such timer is.

Thanks again for all your ideas.
