No, reload is not propagated like this. The idea is basically that
"bindto" means that under no circumstances the binding unit shall run
without the bound to unit. A corollary of that is that if you stop or
restart the bound to unit (restart just meaning stop followed by start
here), then as a result of the first rule the binding unit must be
restarted too. But for reloading nothing like this really applies.

So yeah, I agree with Dan here, that a new dep type that allows
specifying services to automatically propagate reload requests to makes
a ton of sense.
