What's the purpose of the Function.prototype.bind() method?
The Function.prototype.bind() method creates a new function that, when called, has its 'this' keyword set to a specific value, with a given sequence of arguments preceding any provided when the new function is called. This is incredibly useful for maintaining context when functions are passed around or used as callbacks. Unlike call() and apply(), which invoke the function immediately, bind() returns a new function with the bound context and arguments. This is particularly helpful when you need to preserve a specific 'this' value in a callback function.
