As used by the British royal family, "one" is a first person singular pronoun.
It's also worth considering "you", as second person singular (or plural): This means for example that you can completely discard Bind if you do not need it. Whether "you" works in this situation depends on whether the context makes it clear that "you", the reader of the documentation, is the tool's user rather than the tool's author. Personally I don't have a problem with "she". It only seems strange because it is unusual. If we use it more it won't be so unusual. -- Dave Harris, Nottingham, UK.
