/**
* The Binder and BinderRef classes make it possible to "connect" a
* parameter-less signal with a slot which accepts one argument. The
* argument must be known at connection time.
*
* Example:
*
* Assuming a class like this:
*
* class Receiver
* {
* public:
* void doSomething(Param* p);
* };
*
* This code:
*
* Binder<Receiver, Param*>::bind(emitter, SIGNAL(somethingHappened()), receiver, &Receiver::doSomething, p)
*
* Will result in receiver->doSomething(p) being called when emitter emits
* the somethingHappened() signal.
*
* Just like a regular QObject connection, the connection will last until
* either emitter or receiver are deleted.
*
* Using this system avoids creating an helper slot and adding a member to
* the Receiver class to store the argument of the method to call.
*
* To call a method which accept a pointer or a value argument, use Binder.
* To call a method which accept a const reference argument, use BinderRef.
*
* Note: the method does not need to be a slot.
