Mirrored observable collections

[Mike Hearn]

Yes createStringBinding helps but is verbose and repetitive. format()
requires the formatting to be specifiable with format codes, not Java. What
I want is basically

bindBidirectional(Property<String> stringProperty, Property<T>
otherProperty, StringConverter<T> converter)

but with a signature of

bind(Property<String> stringProperty, ReadOnlyProperty<T> otherProperty,
StringConverter<T> converter)

as in practice this is often what's wanted when converting data model
objects into labels.
