/**
 * Register to listen for a signal from the passed in target
 *
 * This sets up a listening relationship such that when the target object emits a signal
 * the source datum this proc is called upon, will receive a callback to the given proctype
 * Use PROC_REF(procname), TYPE_PROC_REF(type,procname) or GLOBAL_PROC_REF(procname) macros to validate the passed in proc at compile time.
 * PROC_REF for procs defined on current type or its ancestors, TYPE_PROC_REF for procs defined on unrelated type and GLOBAL_PROC_REF for global procs.
 * Return values from procs registered must be a bitfield
 *
 * Arguments:
 * * datum/target The target to listen for signals from
 * * signal_type A signal name
 * * proctype The proc to call back when the signal is emitted
 * * override If a previous registration exists you must explicitly set this
