/**
 * Annotates methods of a {@link Module} to add items to a {@link MapBinder}.
 * The method's return type, binding annotation and additional key annotation determines
 * what Map this will contribute to. For example,
 *
 *  * {@literal @}ProvidesIntoMap
 * {@literal @}StringMapKey("Foo")
 * {@literal @}Named("plugins")
 * Plugin provideFooUrl(FooManager fm) { return fm.getPlugin(); }
 *
 * {@literal @}ProvidesIntoMap
 * {@literal @}StringMapKey("Bar")
 * {@literal @}Named("urls")
 * Plugin provideBarUrl(BarManager bm) { return bm.getPlugin(); }
 * 
 *
 * will add two items to the {@code @Named("urls") Map} map. The key 'Foo'
 * will map to the provideFooUrl method, and the key 'Bar' will map to the provideBarUrl method.
 * The values are bound as providers and will be evaluated at injection time.
 *
 * Because the key is specified as an annotation, only Strings, Classes, enums, primitive
 * types and annotation instances are supported as keys.
