/**
 * \enum ConnectionType
 * \brief Connection type for asynchronous communication
 *
 * This enumeration describes the possible types of asynchronous communication
 * between a sender and a receiver. It applies to Signal::emit() and
 * Object::invokeMethod().
 *
 * \var ConnectionType::ConnectionTypeAuto
 * \brief If the sender and the receiver live in the same thread,
 * ConnectionTypeDirect is used. Otherwise ConnectionTypeQueued is used.
 *
 * \var ConnectionType::ConnectionTypeDirect
 * \brief The receiver is invoked immediately and synchronously in the sender's
 * thread.
 *
 * \var ConnectionType::ConnectionTypeQueued
 * \brief The receiver is invoked asynchronously in its thread when control
 * returns to the thread's event loop. The sender proceeds without waiting for
 * the invocation to complete.
 *
 * \var ConnectionType::ConnectionTypeBlocking
 * \brief The receiver is invoked asynchronously in its thread when control
 * returns to the thread's event loop. The sender blocks until the receiver
 * signals the completion of the invocation. This connection type shall not be
 * used when the sender and receiver live in the same thread, otherwise
 * deadlock will occur.
