Description Jens Lideström CLA 2021-12-30 05:45:53 EST 
Add utility shortcut methods for common cases to the Bind databinding API.

Examples:

* Automatically create ComputedValue/List/Set for the from-end. 
* Automatically create converterd observables for the to-end.

@Erdal Karaca:

I implemented one of the methods that you suggested in bug 552667.

I think it is a good idea to add similar shortcuts to the Bind API!

I also added a shortcut method to bind using a method directly:

Bind.oneWay()
    .fromComputed(() -> observable.getValue() + " - Computed!")
    .toSetter(someObject::setSomeProperty)
    .bind(context);
