public interface GinModule
GIN counterpart of Guice's Module. A GinModule
 implementation is compiled both by the regular Java compiler and
 by the GWT compiler.
 
The regular-compiled version is used at GWT compile time as part
 of the implementation of the Generator that outputs the generated
 Ginjector class. Notably, the Generator calls the
 configure method on the module class.
 
The GWT-compiled version is used client-side at runtime. This is
 necessary to support provider methods. Important, the GWT client
 code never actually calls the configure method on the module class
 and it is eliminated as dead code by the compiler. So configure
 needs to be GWT compilable, but the resulting code will never execute.
 
Because GinModule classes need to compile as GWT code,
 all types that modules reference must be GWT translatable. This
 is a problem for types like Key and
 TypeLiteral, since they normally
 reference Type instances and other untranslatable
 things. But since the configure method that uses them won't actually
 be executed, all we need is to satisfy the compiler. Thus, we can get away
 with using super-source to provide dummy stubs of Key and
 TypeLiteral.
