Very cool stuff!

Now, can we have something that does the same thing outside constructor? E.g.

act = menu.addAction('blah')
act.configure(triggered=self.save, statusTip="Save the document")

Also, is this a "safe" way to connect signals so that we get an
exception on bad signal name (as in the new style signal api, and as
opposed to the old c++ style signal binding)?
