I have not looked at the patch in any detail yet. It is certainly refreshing that it only needs 6 symbols. + * Bindings work by automatically connecting to the "notify" signal on the + * relevant properties. Keep in mind that this means property update propagation + * is not instantaneous and may not be thread-safe. I don't understand this. Why does this comment seem to imply that property change notification and signals are non-instantaneous or not threadsafe ? + * Mutual binding creates a bidirectional link between two properties, + * such that when either is updated, the other will likewise be updated. + * Binding is internally prevented from being recursive between objects, + * so that binding multiple objects and properties in complex ways + * is possible. This is certainly not enough detail to actually use this in 'complex ways' and have any confidence in what it does... I guess I'll have to look at the patch some more...
