Thus I don't see much sense in adding complicated logic (extra parameter) if we're anyway going to remove that. After all, current sync handling can be changed to add to an array and then read the triggered signals from that array. Thus synchronous handling can be abolished. The only reason we really needed true sync dispatching before was it not being too reliable and relying on ticks. Bob
