I seem not to have gotten anything prior to this post in
this thread, so I'm kind of commenting on all of it in a
lump.  I hope it's not terribly out of context.

Binding#bind doesn't sound right to me.  I would say either:

  - bind a symbol to a value, or
  - add a symbol to a binding

but not "bind a symbol to a binding."  At least, that's what my
language sense tells me.

Binding#add, maybe?
