ScalaModule

Allows binding via type parameters. Mix into AbstractModule (or subclass) to allow using a type parameter instead of classOf[Foo] or new TypeLiteral[Bar[Foo]] {}.

For example, instead of

class MyModule extends AbstractModule {
def configure {
  bind(classOf[Service]).to(classOf[ServiceImpl]).in(classOf[Singleton])
  bind(classOf[CreditCardPaymentService])
  bind(new TypeLiteral[Bar[Foo]]{}).to(classOf[FooBarImpl])
  bind(classOf[PaymentService]).to(classOf[CreditCardPaymentService])
}
}

use

class MyModule extends AbstractModule with ScalaModule {
def configure {
  bind[Service].to[ServiceImpl].in[Singleton]
  bind[CreditCardPaymentService]
  bind[Bar[Foo]].to[FooBarImpl]
  bind[PaymentService].to[CreditCardPaymentService]
}
}

Note This syntax allows binding to and from generic types. It doesn't currently allow bindings between wildcard types because the manifests for wildcard types don't provide access to type bounds.
