What is a "signal's scope"? I don't understand how you are using
"scope" here.

Signals can be on any instance of a type. Types don't have to be
GObjects. (This is a bit silly IMO, but that's how it is.)  The
"instance" here is simply the object emitting the signal.

"itype" = instance_type or interface_type I assume.
