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

    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(x+123,y+456) }
    }
    \endqml

    However, in some cases, it is not possible to connect to a signal in this
    way. For example, 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 are needed, the Connection object can be used instead.

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

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