It's a bit different because instead of explicit "connection" and
"disconnection", I instead used a template which was intended to be
inherited publicly that had in it's constructor a call to a Registry's
"register" method.

The Registry template on the other hand is defined with a templated
"default hash" class -- which is really a functor with template
arguments. I'm not really good at explaining the code, but I am putting
in some source files at the vault.

Thanks for the links. :) They are very much appreciated. :)

I should get into reading these docs too in my "other spare times that I
want to be a bit productive". :)

Again, thank you very much for the pointers. :)
