    But why would we calculate the volume if nobody cares about the volume? :)

Qt Remote Objects.  I've got a headless service on one device, and a remote UI 
for interacting with it.  When signals are emitted (property change or 
otherwise) by the service, the results are forwarded to the remote UI.

Lazy evaluation probably works fine if the bindings are on the UI side, but 
things break down if they are on the service side.  That was why I was trying 
to distinguish between derived properties _on a QObject_ vs bindings in a QML 
UI.
    
   FWIW, pull-based systems are *much* more scalable than push-based systems, 
because data is produced at the rate it can be consumed, not at the rate it can 
be produced. That is unrelated to polling.

That's only true if you know when you need to pull data.  Otherwise it 
_becomes_ polling.  Also, I think you are assuming the pull is blocking, which 
is not always valid.

How will logging work?  I often connect a lambda to a changed signal to 
troubleshoot or log something.  If such a routine were debug or troubleshooting 
only, wouldn't that build behave fundamentally differently (one doing immediate 
eval because of the signal connection, the other not)?.

Thanks,
Brett
