I have discussed this with Tristan van Berkom (who maintains Glade) 
before and he thinks this is a bad idea; IIRC, his argument was that it 
requires a lot of special casing for GBinding objects and doesn't work 
well with Glade's internal data model. I guess he should answer this 
himself, though; Tristan?
