Suddenly I feel myself swimming over to Him's POV.
This reminds me a lot of Script (Python)'s ability to remap things like context 
and container to other names. Sure, you can do it, but anyone who does is making 
their code less understandable and tripping themselves up in the long run.
After a coupla years experience, I'm not even sure the bindings tab is 
necessary. Think of the complexity that could have been saved by leaving it out...

Will this prefix mapping thing be the same?

...this particular paradgraph would suggest so :-S
