Are signals used in BufferView to do timeouts? If WorkArea uses
signals in its own way, it would make sense that BufferView is a
subclass of WorkArea::base_type. This would give a hint about why
BufferView uses signals. I understand howver that a class could use
signals for several reasons, but does this happen?
Also base_tye is of course a lame name. It should probably be
receiver_type or any name that fits with SigC++ philosophy. This way,
the ifdefs would be only in a few header files, and their intent would
be clearer to stupid programmers who, as I do, ignore the beauties of
SigC++.
