Signals don't have a name, which makes it hard for logging

[madjar]

As of now, signals don't have name, which means it is impossible, given a signal object, to know what signal it actually is, for example when logging a failure.

An optional name argument would be nice, even-though it would introduce some repetition

pre_setup_conf = signalslot.Signal(name='pre_setup_conf', args=['conf'])

To avoid the repetition, we could define signals as classes?

class pre_setup_conf(signalslot.Signal):
    args = ['conf']

Holding the name would be useful indeed, pull requests would be acceptable ;)

It sounds fun to make a SignalMetaclass but maybe it's too early.
