// repeaters are both signals and slots, which are designed as intermediate
// pass-throughs for signals and slots which don't know about each other (for
// modularity or encapsulation).  This eliminates the need to declare a signal
// handler whose sole purpose is to fire another signal.  The repeater connects
// to the originating signal using the 'repeat' method.  When the repeated
// signal fires, the repeater will also fire.
//
// TODO(deadbeef): Actually use this, after we decide on some style points on
// using signals, so it doesn't get deleted again.
