I agree - slot always confused me too - and signal is already used for
unix signals...

I like:
std::source
std::sink
std::channel
std::trackable ????

trackable never made sense to me... in essence it's a base class which
allows it to auto-disconnect on the dtor, correct? why not
std::auto_disconnect or something like that? (just thinking out loud
here)
