You're probably right.  I'll see if I can't rewrite that.

I know about it, but I think that for beginners, it is very confusing.
 For one thing, it leads down the path to lambda, which is tricky
enough itself.  For another, it doesn't automatically pass an event
object, which makes it even more difficult to use.  So I think that
beginners should consistently use the more plodding technique of
explicit binding.

But I should probably add a note to that effect.  Otherwise, the
avoidance of the "command" option might be confusing.

Thanks for the feedback! :-)
