 * {@code Map<K, ? extends V>}, {@code Map<K, Provider<V>>}, {@code Map<K, Set<V>>}, {@code Map<K,
 * Set<Provider<V>>}, and even {@code Set<Map.Entry<K, Provider<V>>}), a MapBinderBinding exists
 * only on the Binding associated with the {@code Map<K, V> key}. Injectable map types can be
 * discovered using {@link #getMapKey} (which will return the {@code Map<K, V>} key), or{@link
 * #getAlternateMapKeys} (which will return the other keys that can inject this data). Other
 * bindings can be validated to be derived from this MapBinderBinding using {@link
 * #containsElement(Element)}.
 *
 * @param <T> The fully qualified type of the map, including Map. For example: {@code
 *     MapBinderBinding<Map<String, Snack>>}
