/**
 * \class Object
 * \brief Base object to support automatic signal disconnection
 *
 * The Object class simplifies signal/slot handling for classes implementing
 * slots. By inheriting from Object, an object is automatically disconnected
 * from all connected signals when it gets destroyed.
 *
 * Object instances are bound to the thread of their parent, or the thread in
 * which they're created when they have no parent. When a message is posted to
 * an object, its handler will run in the object's thread. This allows
 * implementing easy message passing between threads by inheriting from the
 * Object class.
 *
 * Deleting an object from a thread other than the one the object is bound to is
 * unsafe, unless the caller ensures that the object isn't processing any
 * message concurrently.
 *
 * Object slots connected to signals will also run in the context of the
 * object's thread, regardless of whether the signal is emitted in the same or
 * in another thread.

/**
 * \brief Schedule deletion of the instance in the thread it belongs to

 * If this function is called before the thread's event loop is started, the
 * object will be deleted when the event loop starts.
 *
 * Deferred deletion can be used to control the destruction context with shared
 * pointers. An object managed with shared pointers is deleted when the last
 * reference is destroyed, which makes difficult to ensure through software
 * design which context the deletion will take place in. With a custom deleter
 * for the shared pointer using deleteLater(), the deletion can be guaranteed to
 * happen in the thread the object is bound to.
