* Allow binding properties. This does not recursively bind sub-properties.

* Example
*
* {@literal @}BindProperties("y")
* public class X {
* public Y getY() { ... }
* public void setY(Y y) { ... }
* }
*
* public class Y {
* ...
* }
*
* X x = ...
* resources.bind(x) will also bind Y. However, if Y is also annotated with BindProperties, it will not attempt to
* bind Y's properties.
