The problem is that Binding is the wrong name for the class. A
variable binding associates a variable with a value, but the Binding
class represents a collection of bindings. E.g. this seems right:
Binding.new(symbol, value)
I.e. create a single binding of a symbol to a value. Typically a
collection of bindings is called a Environment or Context.
Environment#bind(symbol, value)
makes more sense.
