How To Allow Additional Binding Syntax?

I have a StandardListItem with concatenated string literals like this:

new StandardListItem({
  title: "{BOM/#text}",
  description: "Version: " + "{REVISION/#text}"
});

How can I achieve getting the description like "Version: <bound value>"?

StandardListItem1

When I delete the "Version: " + in the description, it works very well.

StandardListItem2

    Adding

    data-sap-ui-xx-bindingSyntax="complex"

    to the bootstrap in your index.html will do the trick
