/**
 * btcsignals is a simple mechanism for signaling events to multiple subscribers.
 * It is api-compatible with a minimal subset of boost::signals2.
 *
 * Rather than using a custom slot type, and the features/complexity that they
 * imply, std::function is used to store the callbacks. Lifetime management of
 * the callbacks is left up to the user.
 *
 * All usage is thread-safe except for interacting with a connection while
 * copying/moving it on another thread.
