The specialization complicates the code for no clear benefit. In fact, it had the disadvantage that use of a non-specialized `Binder` had to be flagged as an error at runtime instead of during type checking. There is backwards compatibility code to support the old syntax for a while.
While we've been using this library exclusively for configuration so far, it could be used for other purposes as well, especially if at some point we start parsing JSON.

Binderclass was specialized using a type argument (Binder[Config]) rather than instantiation (Binder(config)). The specialization complicates the code for no clear benefit. In fact, it had the disadvantage that use of a non-specializedBinderhad to be flagged as an error at runtime instead of during type checking.There is backwards compatibility code to support the old syntax for a while, but not necessarily all the way up to 1.0.
