I have actually run into the same situation and made a template class that
owns the variable. Its constructor takes an initial value and a
std::function<void (const T&)> as a callback for when the value changes.
The callback can be a lambda or a std::bind to the expected signal. I also
added overloads to allow for the templated class to behave just like the
contained type so that it can be swapped in easily. I figured the Qt
project wouldn't like the submission of the class due to its template
nature and its use of std::function but i am willing to share it if anyone
is interested.
