 * if the context is used as a Module. Can be added to any <code>@Configuration</code>
 * class (and if added to many then the filters are combined with logical OR). By default
 * all beans in the context will be bound to Guice with all of their implemented
 * interfaces. If you need to filter out which beans are added you can filter by class.
