Description
@starpit commented on [Wed Jun 08 2016](https://github.com/openwhisk/openwhisk/issues/593)
we would like a way to distinguish `dbname` as a special parameter, one that we suggest the user provide at package binding time, rather than invocation time.
for example, the `read-document` action throws an exception if `dbname` is not provided, and it is unlikely that in normal scenarios `dbname` will be provided as input from a prior action in a sequence, or by a trigger as part of a rule.
whereas the `docID` field is much more likely to be in-flow data. therefore, `dbname` should be prompted for at package binding time
**Solution**: every cloudant action that specifies `dbname` as required should also specify it as **bindTime: true**

All of the cloudant actions that specify dbName as required must also specify bindTime: true
