/*! \brief Create a connection that self-disconnects when its "slot" returns true
 *
 *  A slot accepted by connectUntil() is different from classic Qt slots
 * in that its return value must be bool, not void. The slot's return value
 * controls whether the connection should be kept; if the slot returns false,
 * the connection remains; upon returning true, the slot is disconnected from
 * the signal. Because of a different slot signature connectUntil() doesn't
 * accept member functions as QObject::connect or Quotient::connectSingleShot
 * do; you should pass a lambda or a pre-bound member function to it.
