Nah. There's boost::signal, which is a full-blown signal/slot implementation
which works totally at compile time and has zero overhead. In fact, there is
technically *nothing* that moc does which cannot be done with C++ and some
advanced tecniques. But Trolltech seems to like the separate compilation step
more than templates.

I'm fine with dropping them as long as they're optional.
