"bound 'this'" would do -- "hard-bound" if you insist.
I think soft-bind is dead as discussed here, since it adds a flag
argument or equivalent that must be set by every caller anywhere -- this
won't fly with V8 and SpiderMonkey and other engines.
I'd prefer just "bound" so we can stop pretending there's a "soft" option.
