May be possible for the bindings to execute once before needed components have been created if you are using states. > We'll get puzzled users where the value is assigned as null For the most common use case ie const + "const" expressions there's no issue. Most users (unless they wanted to optimise performance) are likely to continue to use existing normal binding. There is also a very simple fix if something doesn't work the way you expected - just go back to using normal binding. > Optimizing for constant expressions is a good thing, but I still think it > can be done without a syntax change. You have anything you can submit or code we can look at? It certainly sounds like a sound approach but I no idea how much work it would take. Thanks, Justin
