The feature itself does not include imposing a
binding by default.  The feature is not the problem.

The feature is accessible without a default binding.

No.  We should argue, if that's needed, only after
the feature has been used by users for quite a while
and users have called for a default binding.

Please do not bind this feature by default at all.
Users can bind it as they see fit.

This is a new feature.  Binding can be considered
after a (hopefully long) period of use and experimentation.
