* A binding for a Multibinder.
*
* Although Multibinders may be injected through a variety of generic types ({@code Set},

* on the Binding associated with the {@code Set} key. Injectable types can be discovered using
* {@link #getSetKey} (which will return the {@code Set} key), or {@link #getAlternateSetKeys}
* (which will return the other keys that can inject this data). Other bindings can be validated to
* be derived from this MultibinderBinding using {@link #containsElement(Element)}.
*
* @param The fully qualified type of the set, including Set. For example: {@code
* MultibinderBinding>}
