Easy, because the signal method lives in QWidget (which is used by the base 
QTreeView-Code) and the slot just overrides this method and lives in our own 
widget. That way, moc knows about the signal and the slot and simply uses the 
same names. You will have trouble though to emit that signal from within our 
code. It simply will not work (as you call the slot method).

But we can rename our slot to whatever we like.
