/** Bind two object properties.
 *
 * %Glib::Binding is the representation of a binding between a property on a
 * Glib::ObjectBase instance (or source) and another property on another Glib::ObjectBase
 * instance (or target). Whenever the source property changes, the same
 * value is applied to the target property; for instance, the following binding:
 *
 * @code
 * Glib::Binding::bind_property(object1->property_a(), object2->property_b());
 * @endcode
 *
 * will cause property_b() of @a object2 to be updated
 * every time the value of property_a() of @a object1 changes.
 *
 * It is possible to create a bidirectional binding between two properties
 * of two Glib::ObjectBase instances, so that if either property changes, the
 * other is updated as well, for instance:
 *
 * @code
 * Glib::Binding::bind_property(object1->property_a(), object2->property_b(),
 *   Glib::Binding::Flags::BIDIRECTIONAL);
 * @endcode
 *
 * will keep the two properties in sync.
 *
 * It is also possible to set a custom transformation function (in both
 * directions, in case of a bidirectional binding) to apply a custom
 * transformation from the source value to the target value before
 * applying it; for instance, the following binding:
 *
 * @code
 * bool celsius_to_fahrenheit(const double& celsius, double& fahrenheit);
 * bool fahrenheit_to_celsius(const double& fahrenheit, double& celsius);
 * Glib::Binding::bind_property(adjustment1->property_value(),
 *   adjustment2->property_value(), Glib::Binding::Flags::BIDIRECTIONAL,
 *   sigc::ptr_fun(celsius_to_fahrenheit), sigc::ptr_fun(fahrenheit_to_celsius));
 * @endcode
 *
 * will keep property_value() of the two adjustments in sync; the
 * celsius_to_fahrenheit() function will be called whenever
 * property_value() of @a adjustment1 changes and will transform the current value
 * of the property before applying it to property_value() of @a adjustment2.
 *
 * Vice versa, the fahrenheit_to_celsius() function will be called whenever
 * property_value() of @a adjustment2 changes, and will transform the
 * current value of the property before applying it to property_value()
 * of @a adjustment1.
 *
 * Note that Glib::Binding does not resolve cycles by itself; a cycle like
 *
 * @code
 *   object1->property_A() -> object2->property_B()
 *   object2->property_B() -> object3->property_C()
 *   object3->property_C() -> object1->property_A()
 * @endcode
 *
 * might lead to an infinite loop. The loop, in this particular case,
 * can be avoided if the objects emit the GObject::notify signal only
 * if the value has effectively been changed. A binding is implemented
 * using the GObject::notify signal, so it is susceptible to all the
 * various ways of blocking a signal emission, like Glib::SignalProxyNormal::emission_stop()
 * or g_signal_handler_block().
 *
 * The binding between the two properties is broken whenever either one of the
 * Glib::ObjectBase instances it refers to is deleted or when unbind() is called.
 * If a RefPtr<Binding> remains after the binding has been broken, get_source()
 * and get_target() return a <tt>nullptr</tt>, and dup_source() and dup_target()
 * return an empty RefPtr. It's not necessary to keep a RefPtr<Binding>
 * in order to keep the binding alive.
