Rio-based ViewModels

[slodge]

INotifyPropertyChanged is lovely

But sometimes it feels like overkill.

I'd like to suggest adding an additional source binding interface - IRio - with a simple implementation Rio<T>

In a ViewModel this could be written as:

   public readonly IRio<string> FirstName = new Rio<string>("Initial value");

After this, then binding:

   local:mvxBind="Text FirstName"

would be updated whenever the viewModel calls:

   FirstName.Set("New value");

and anyone can get the value using

   FirstName.Get();

(we might also be able to support cast operations - not sure)

Collections could be implemented using a Rio accessor to an INotifyCollectionChanged object.

IRio fields could also be mixed and matched with INotifyPropertyChanged methods too.

The name Rio is possible open to change...
