How does this look (aside from needing tests)? Can anyone think of a better name for the option?

Public API is the options property on the binding engine instance.

@jdanyow Should we log something if the settings is "false" but the instance doesn't exist?

Tough call- I think some people (myself included) would think we should log when the object is automatically created as opposed to when assignment is skipped. There are developers on both sides of this issue. Here's an example of the most common way this issue crops up: https://gist.run/?id=73ef440e9efde8b164ca

I suppose we could also have a logging setting. What do you think?

@jdanyow Where are we at on this also considering the binding behavior idea.

closing- this is not up to date with the current plan outlined in #205
