HBox and VBox and horizontal and vertical layouts probably wouldn't work as 
expected if this changed.

I can see that could complicate things. May be possible for the bindings to 
execute once before needed components have been created if you are using states.

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.

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,
