/**
 * Annotate a Class which should be binded automatically. The Classpath Scanner,
 * will check for these classes. If the name()-Attribute is set (default is ""),
 * the class will be bound to the implemented interfaces and a named annotation.
 * 
 * You can overwrite the interfaces, which should be used for binding the class.
 * If bind()-Attribute is not set, the implemented interfaces will be used. If
 * set they will be ignored and overwritten.
 * 
 * If you annotate your class with {@link com.google.inject.Singleton} or
 * {@link javax.inject.Singleton} they will be also bound to the
 * Singleton-Scope.
