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.
