/**
* This class represents a name-to-object binding found in a context.

* A context consists of name-to-object bindings.
* The Binding class represents such a binding. It consists
* of a name and an object. The <code>Context.listBindings()</code>
* method returns an enumeration of Binding.
*<p>
* Use subclassing for naming systems that generate contents of
* a binding dynamically.
*<p>
* A Binding instance is not synchronized against concurrent access by multiple
* threads. Threads that need to access a Binding concurrently should
* synchronize amongst themselves and provide the necessary locking.
