In addition to the old connection syntax, you can now connect using function pointers.
connect(sender, &Sender::valueChanged,
receiver, &Receiver::updateValue );
You can connect also to functor or C++11 lambdas
The connections are now type safe (no more problems with namespaces
or typedefs). Implicit type conversion is also supported.
The new syntax forces us to change the meaning of signal form
protected to public, in order to be able to access the signal's
address everywhere
The way it works is by introducing new overload of QObject::connect
that take function pointer as parametter. Those new overload are template
function, that are implemented inline. The actual implementation is
in QObject::connectImpl which take a QObject::QSlotObject* as parametter
for the slot. That slot object contains a virtual function which call
the slot which has to be implemented in the header as it depends on the
template parametter. So the internals of QObjectPrivate::Connection
will store this QObjectSlot* in order to be able to make the call.

(The discussions on the mailing list were about trying to find a
solution that do not need making signals public, but no user friendly
solution was found)
Note: support for QueuedConnection, and the symetric QObject::disconnect is
added in another commit.
Qt::UniqueConnection is not supported yet in the new overload.
