Muraad/Bind

A small but powerful C# library for data binding

Based on Praeclarum.Bind

See https://github.com/praeclarum/Bind for full explanation. This version is a little bit cleaned up. There was a code path not necessary. A binding is now an IDisposable that can be used to unbind.

Improvements

It is now allowed to use a method call on the right side of the binding. See the test
