/*!
    \qmlclass Connection QmlConnection
    \brief A Connection object describes generalized connections to signals.

    JavaScript-in-HTML style signal properties do not allow:
    \list
        \i connecting to signals with the same name but different parameters
        \i conformance checking that parameters are correctly named
        \i multiple connections to the same signal
        \i connections outside the scope of the signal sender
        \i signals in classes with coincidentally-named on<Signal> properties
    \endlist

    When any of these is needed, the Connection object can be used instead.
    Where a signal could be connected like this:

    \qml
MouseRegion {
    onClicked: { foo(x+123,y+456) }
}
    \endqml

    An equivalent binding can be made with a Connection object:

    \qml
MouseRegion {
    Connection {
        signal: "clicked(x,y)"
        script: { foo(x+123,y+456) }
    }
}
    \endqml

    More generally, the Connection object can be a child of some other object than
    the sender of the signal, and the script is the default attribute:

    \qml
MouseRegion {
    id: mr
}
...
Connection {
    sender: mr
    signal: "clicked(x,y)"
    script: { foo(x+123,y+456) }
}
    \endqml
