i'm not restricting myself that way.  i can just as easily create signals
in an arbitrary scope class, instantiate it, and logically connect/emit
signals from unrelated emitters and listeners.  In fact, i believe the
signal system should be *described* as this less restrictive model.  Again,
this is just a matter of documentation.  Otherwise the API & etc is fine.
