Hmm. Still, I don't think we can break the binding this way.

Rob, Ulf, Adrian: What are your thoughts on handling phase offsets in 
[-360, 360] in the binding? Do we append the flag field? Add a separate 
property? I don't think interleaving the flags is desirable, though 
interested in your thoughts.
