    \brief Enables the arbitrary creation of property bindings.

    In QML, property bindings result in a dependency between the properties of
    different objects.

    \section1 Binding to an inaccessible property

    Sometimes it is necessary to bind an object's property to
    that of another object that isn't directly instantiated by QML, such as a
    property of a class exported to QML by C++. You can use the Binding type
    to establish this dependency; binding any value to any object's property.

    For example, in a C++ application that maps an "app.enteredText" property
    into QML, you can use Binding to update the enteredText property.

    \code
    TextEdit { id: myTextField; text: "Please type here..." }
    Binding { target: app; property: "enteredText"; value: myTextField.text }
    \endcode

    When \c{text} changes, the C++ property \c{enteredText} will update
    automatically.

    \section1 Conditional bindings

    In some cases you may want to modify the value of a property when a certain
    condition is met but leave it unmodified otherwise. Often, it's not possible
    to do this with direct bindings, as you have to supply values for all
    possible branches.

    For example, the code snippet below results in a warning whenever you
    release the mouse. This is because the value of the binding is undefined
    when the mouse isn't pressed.

    \qml
    // produces warning: "Unable to assign [undefined] to double value"
    value: if (mouse.pressed) mouse.mouseX
    \endqml

    The Binding type can prevent this warning.

    \qml
    Binding on value {
        when: mouse.pressed
        value: mouse.mouseX
    }
    \endqml

    The Binding type restores any previously set direct bindings on the
    property.

        target: contactName; property: 'text'

    When the binding becomes inactive again, any direct bindings that were previously
    set on the property will be restored.
