Well done.

But it needs several corrections:

0. Please call libsigc++ "libsigc++" rather "than "SigC++".

1. Shulze -> Schulze.

2. libsigc++2 uses sigc::signal<>, not sigc::signal[1/2/3/4/5]<>.

3. Signals with return values, with multiple handlers, seems like a more
advanced issue that should be mentioned at the end.

4. I have no idea what this does in your example:
"sig.slots().push_front()".
You can just use connect() again for a second slot. And you certainly
shouldn't need to use it again for every slot after already using
connect().

5. I can't find a mention of member method handlers. I would prefer that
the simple stuff that I mentioned was dealt with first.
