  \ingroup qml-utility-elements
  \since 4.7
    \brief A Connections element describes generalized connections to signals.

    A Connections object creates a connection to a QML signal.

    When connecting to signals in QML, the usual way is to create an
    "on<Signal>" handler that reacts when a signal is received, like this:

    \qml
    MouseArea {
        onClicked: { foo(parameters) }
    }
    \endqml

    However, it is not possible to connect to a signal in this way in some 
    cases, such as when:

    \list
        \i Multiple connections to the same signal are required
        \i Creating connections outside the scope of the signal sender
        \i Connecting to targets not defined in QML
    \endlist

    When any of these are needed, the Connections element can be used instead.

    For example, the above code can be changed to use a Connections object,
    like this:

    \qml
    MouseArea {
        Connections {
            onClicked: foo(parameters)
        }
    }
    \endqml

    More generally, the Connections object can be a child of some object other than
    the sender of the signal:

    \qml
    MouseArea {
        id: area
    }
    // ...
    Connections {
        target: area
        onClicked: foo(parameters)
    }
    \endqml
