\class QxtBoundFunction
\inmodule QxtCore
\brief Binds parameters to a function call
* A bound function is very similar to what the C++ FAQ Lite refers to as "functionoids."
* (http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/pointers-to-members.html#faq-33.10)
* It is similar in use to a function pointer, but allows any or all parameters to be
* pre-filled with constant values. The remaining parameters are specified when the
* function is invoked, for instance, by a Qt signal connection.
*
* By far, the most common expected use is to provide a parameter to a slot when the
* signal doesn't have offer one. Many developers new to Qt try to write code like this:
* \code
* connect(button, SIGNAL(clicked()), lineEdit, SLOT(setText("Hello, world")));
* \endcode
* Experienced Qt developers will immediately spot the flaw here. The typical solution
* is to create a short, one-line wrapper slot that invokes the desired function. Some
* clever developers may even use QSignalMapper to handle slots that only need one
* int or QString parameter.
*
* QxtBoundFunction enables the previous connect statement to be written like this:
* \code
* connect(button, SIGNAL(clicked()), QxtMetaObject::bind(lineEdit, SLOT(setText(QString)), Q_ARG(QString, "Hello, world!")));
* \code
* This accomplishes the same result without having to create a new slot, or worse,
* an entire object, just to pass a constant value.
*
* Additionally, through the use of the QXT_BIND macro, parameters from the signal
* can be rearranged, skipped, or passed alongside constant arguments provided
* with the Q_ARG macro. This can be used to provide stateful callbacks to a
* generic function, for example.
*
* Many kinds of functions can be bound. The most common binding applies to
* Qt signals and slots, but standard C/C++ functions can be bound as well.
* Future development may add the ability to bind to C++ member functions,
* and developers can make custom QxtBoundFunction subclasses for even more
* flexibility if necessary.
*
