Detailed Description

Binds a key SemiBinding to a vlaue Semibinding.

Bindings represent the smallest element of Strange with which most developers will normally interact.

A Strange binding is made up of two required parts and one optional part (SemiBindings).

• key - The Type or value that a client provides in order to unlock a value.
• value - One or more things tied to and released by the offering of a key
• name - An optional discriminator, allowing a client to differentiate between multiple keys of the same Type

The required parts are a key and a value. The key triggers the value; thus an event can be the key that triggers a callback. Or the instantiation of one class can be the key that leads to the instantiation of another class. The optional part is a name. Under some circumstances, it is useful to qualify two bindings with identical keys. Under these circumstances, the name serves as a discriminator.

Note that SemiBindings maintain lists, so RemoveKey, RemoveValue and RemoveName delete an entry from those lists.
