Signals.hasHandlerPending

Returns whether there are any handlers connected to @instance for the given signal id and detail.

If @detail is 0 then it will only match handlers that were connected without detail. If @detail is non-zero then it will match handlers connected both without detail and with the given detail. This is consistent with how a signal emitted with @detail would be delivered to those handlers.

One example of when you might use this is when the arguments to the signal are difficult to compute. A class implementor may opt to not emit the signal if no one is attached anyway, thus saving the cost of building the arguments.
