I did, but since you give examples based on gtk+ (and I know how gtk+ does it) 
I couldn't see how anything could be implemented for gtk+/gtkmm, via changes 
to libsigc++, which would do anything close to what you propose.

I do not think I really understand your proposal for a "basement" to provide 
"custom aggregation of signals" anyway (this may well be my problem not 
yours) - you offered to have a first cut at providing some code, so why not 
have a go at it?
