Not urgent right now. Once I figured out what the problem was, I removed the
Bindable tag. It was not strictly necessary.
In my case the public static const was not exported. Not sure why.
I’m not sure that we always want to export these things either, but that’s a
whole ‘nother discussion that I keep putting off until we’re in a better place.
