Okay, but as I said before, the default NSObject bindings
implementation only set up KVO in one direction. If you call -[myView
bind:@"num" toObject:myController withKeyPath:@"someModelKeyPath"
options:0], KVO will only occur from [myController].someModelKeyPath
--> [myView].num. NSObject doesn't (and can't) also set up the
reverse direction.

This is not a KVC-compliant accessor for the num property. It needs
to be named -setNum:.

Do not do this if you have not overridden
-automaticallyNotifiesObserversForKey: to return NO for the num key.

This invokes the default implementation of
-bind:toObject:withKeyPath:options:, which takes care of the model ->
view communication. You now need to take care of the view -> model
communication. As described in the User Updates a Value in the User
Interface section of the Cocoa Bindings Programming Topics, you can
call -setValue:forKeyPath: on the toObject and withKeyPath arguments
of the original binding (you can get this information by calling
-infoForBinding). Or you might have some custom logic that informs
the controller/model of the change in a different way.
