[Interest] Did the bound value handling changed in 5.x? If yes, why?

Yes and no. There is probably much more potential C++ code, which compiles, 
runs, but fails than there is correct code. Would be great if this wasn't 
the case. ;-)

Nevertheless, I opened a bug report. Maybe the change was unintentional. 
I think my version could be a nice shorthand for the correct version. 

And if it was intentional maybe a boolean return value
could be added to bindValue, which indicates correct value binding.

Making it not compiling might be a bit difficult, since from a C++ point
of view it is syntactically correct code.
