Yes, but only because C++ compilers were not good enough when QT came
out, and later is was too late to change it to a templated system.
Lookup libsigc++ http://libsigc.sourceforge.net/ which does the same
using standard C++ and http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/templates.html
for a reasoning of QT.

In C++11 (supported by MSVC, g++, clang) there re also lambda expressions
