P3: Somewhat important See the following snippet.
When printing available signatures for QtObject.connect, one takes two QObjects along with two QMetaMethods.
When calling QtObject.connect with such arguments, we get
TypeError: Use the function PySide2.QtCore.SIGNAL on signals
which is the error we'd get when calling QtObject.connect with str attributes that are not well formatted. It seems like connect got resolved to that wrong overload.
