class LateBinding \ from BOM
Metaclass for LateBinding type.
Late bindings are special items treated as "symbols", that can receive an associated value at runtime.
Checks if the late binding is bound.
LateBinding.bound( )
| Returns: | True if this late binding has a bound value. |
Returns the value associated with a late binding.
LateBinding.value( )
| Returns: | A value or nil if no value is associated. |
To determine if this binding has a "nil" value associated, use LateBinding.bound.
