I still don't understand:  What's so bad about Rebindable?  Yes, it's not the
syntactically prettiest thing in the world, but complaining about it is like
complaining about climbing a molehill when you've got Mount Everest to climb next.
 My previous gripe about it was that it didn't support interfaces, but I just
realized that Shin Fujishiro fixed this a while back.
