I would not shed a tear if named slot maps were to disappear, and without the std::map needed for named_slot_map, most of the need for the uses of function/any disappear.

But I can't really make them go away, since they're part of the template signature and removing Group/GroupCompare would break existing code. What I can do is moving the related implementation to a "legacy" part of the library and select the signal base class from new/legacy depending on the Group parameter. Regards Timmo Stange
