The reason for these being missing previously are that they are actually 
declared private in C++ and actually accessible only to the C++ connect 
statement through "a rather nasty hack" ;)

In the 4.5 release, we've added a set of PrivateSignals which can be 
connected to, but not emitted(). This makes it possible for us to 
support this kind of API so 4.5 will have these signals available.
