Bind#bind(sym,val) as in "bind a symbol to a value, in the context of a
binding". (however i'd rather say: bind a value to a symbol ... but i'm
all backwards)

I'm proposing Binding#[]= in my RCR (#29), which I think is the most
convenient, because the principal aggregate held by a binding is its
localvariable-table. I think of #[] and #[]= as meaning "access the
principal aggregate held by an object", with "principal" as in "most
important" or "natural".
