// I just found out that .bind automatically sets up chained bindings in SproutCore. When did that get added?

var data = SC.Object.create({ insideObject: SC.Object.create({ property: "Value" }) });

var view = SC.Object.create();
view.bind('prop', data, 'insideObject.property');

// expected:
SC.RunLoop.end();
console.log(view.get('prop')); // -> "Value"

// also expected:
data.setPath('insideObject.property', "Hi");
SC.RunLoop.end();
console.log(view.get('prop')); // -> "Hi"

// not expected:
data.set('insideObject', SC.Object.create({ property: "Hiyo!" }));
SC.RunLoop.end();
console.log(view.get('prop')); // "Hiyo!"
