    attribute of each `University` instance.

    Normally, we can pass instances of a source (like `ThemeSource`)

    the set of available themes is not available before the whole
    `waeup.sirp` package was grokked (and parsed).

    We bypass that problem by defining this trivial source-binder,
    which is asked for themes only when the values of the source are
    really needed and after the process of grokking and parsing
    everything on startup.

    So, although this binder binds to some context (`IUniversity` is
    currently the only interface making use of this source, so
    `University` instances are the only context used), the context
    does not really matter.
