I've done it that way before, although sometimes its better to create an
"updateAll()" method, because now all of your bindings will fire when a
single property changes since your entire class is Bindable on the same
event. Just depends on exactly what the use case is, if your class is set up
with the default Binding events you could use describeType in your updateAll
method to dispatch a PropertyChangeEvent for each property in your class.
