 From what I read about the C++ boost/signal library each connected slot 
received the original parameters. The additional bonus for the current 
TYPO3 implementation of hooks which allows multiple hook subscribers is 
that the parameters are passed from each hook subscriber to the next. 
This way all subscribers can do their own processing.

It could be done a bit nicer than global arrays to connect a function to 
a signal, but it's really not that bad.
