Hmm. I'm not sure whether that would be a good idea. gtk and pygtk are
(just) toolkits, whereas Sketch's signal mechanism tends more towards an
application framework, so I think it complements pygtk but perhaps
shouldn't be an integral part of it.
In Sketch at least, I use it more for internal communication between
e.g. the document and its views to update the views when the document
changes, and rarely directly with GTK widgets.
