However, without looking at real code, people are just flat-out guessing about how bad - or good - things can get, no matter how confident they sound. So at least give me credit for presenting the worst brief binding-expression example you've seen too ;-)

I had no idea you were a bit short on them, so I'll gladly give you credits for it :-) But I hope you'll use them responsibly!
