Of course if you're dealing with ed or vi, you could have custom compilations with little tweaks in the code.
You just cracked me up with that :)

I think bond can be used as long as you can say why it makes sense. I think computer software, was mentioned above, are easily bonded because they tend to be so tailored by the user, for the user.

Programmers in the office, for example, go so far out of the way to get software and tools to speed up every little task their own way. No two Visual Studios at our office look the same, with layout changed, color choices changed, custom macros, some use GUI tools, others are off in Makefiles.
