One-time Binding in angularjs 1.3.0.-rc2

If I use angular’s new one-time binding syntax on my translated values, shouldn’t the watch be removed after the translate value is defined?

I use something like <h3>{{::'FeaturedProducts' | translate}}</h3>, but I still see a watch in Batarang.

I’m not sure if this is a bug in angular, angular-translate, or my misunderstanding of how the on-time binding should work, but this seems like a perfect scenario to use the one-time binding feature.

BTW, I’m using latest 2.4.0 of angular-translate

Is there any advantage to using this: <span translate = "{{::'KEY'}}"></span>. I assume that just the bit inside the double quotes "{{::'KEY'}}" will be removed from the watcher (since it is an expression). This will resolve to just "KEY", and the directive itself will still be watching that attribute - Therefore for one to use a bind-once-and-forget approach, they would be limited to the filter only.

Would this work <h3>{{::value = ('FeaturedProducts' | translate)}}</h3>? I haven’t tried though

Or maybe an uglier version if it doesn’t cut it: <h3 ng-init="value = ('FeaturedProducts' | translate)">{{::value}}</h3>
