The current type narrows the binding type to `""` by default, which means "no bindings on this component". While this is the common case, it makes it very cumbersome to use the `Component` type because legacy components are of type `string` and as soon as you have bindings, the type is something like `"foo" | "bar"` which _also_ is not assignable to `""` which is semantically wrong, because you should be able to assign a component that can have bindings to a type that accepts none.
The pragmatic solution is to change the binding type to allow `string`, which means someone theoretically could use bindings with a component that doesn't have bindings:
```svelte
<script>
let component: Component<{ prop: boolean }> = IAcceptNoBindings;
</script>
<!-- allowed but should be a type error -->
<svelte:component this={component} bind:prop={foo} />
```
But this is a) rare anyway and b) can be caught at runtime
