Binding key consisting of an injection type and an optional annotation.
Matches the type and annotation at a point of injection.
<p>For example, <code>Key.get(Service.class, Transactional.class) {}</code> will
match:
<pre>
@Inject
public void setService(@Transactional Service service) {
...
}
</pre>
<p><code>Key</code> supports generic types via subclassing just like <A HREF="../../../com/google/inject/TypeLiteral.html" title="class in com.google.inject"><CODE>TypeLiteral</CODE></A>.
