Difficult - no, but SIP would have to generate a fair bit of extra code
(an extra C++ member function for every function that wasn't already a
slot).

Desirable - no (from my point of view) as it starts to make PyQt
different (possibly better) that C++ Qt.

Useful - I'm not the person to judge, but this is the first time anybody
has (publically) had this problem.

I'd be interested to know, when people first started using PyQt/PyKDE,
what their biggest problem was.
