/**
* Annotates abstract module methods that declare multibindings.
*
* <p>You can declare that a multibound set or map is bound by annotating an abstract module method
* that returns the set or map you want to declare with {@code @Multibinds}.
*
* <p>You do not have to use {@code @Multibinds} for sets or maps that have at least one
* contribution, but you do have to declare them if they may be empty.
*
* <pre><code>
* {@literal @Module} abstract class MyModule {
* {@literal @Multibinds abstract Set<Foo> aSet();}
* {@literal @Multibinds abstract @MyQualifier Set<Foo> aQualifiedSet();}
* {@literal @Multibinds abstract Map<String, Foo> aMap();}
* {@literal @Multibinds abstract @MyQualifier Map<String, Foo> aQualifiedMap();}
*
* {@literal @Provides}
* {@literal static Object usesMultibindings(Set<Foo> set, @MyQualifier Map<String, Foo> map}) {
* return …
* }
* }</code></pre>
*
* <p>A given set or map multibinding can be declared any number of times without error. Dagger
* never implements or calls any {@code @Multibinds} methods.
*
