Overview

Responsible for wiring two-way data-binding for text and selection properties on Text, Button, and Spinner widgets. Does so by using the output of the bind(model, property) command in the form of a ModelBinding, which is then connected to an anonymous widget observer (aka widget_data_binder as per widget_data_binders array)

Depends on BindCommandHandler
