A binding between a key or data entry and a key or data object.
<p><em>WARNING:</em> Binding instances are typically shared by multiple
threads and binding methods are called without any special synchronization.
Therefore, bindings must be thread safe. In general no shared state should
be used and any caching of computed values must be done with proper
synchronization.</p>
