requireBinding() should work with TypeLiteral

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I would like to require that there be a binding for a List of Strings before 
someone else can use my module.

requireBinding(new TypeLiteral<List<String>>() {});

Should work, but there is no support for such a call.

Work Around:
  requireBinding(Key.get(new TypeLiteral<List<String>>() {}));

Simple implementation:

public void requireBinding(TypeLiteral<T> typeLiteral) {
  requireBinding(Key.get(typeLiteral));
}

You could also do:

requireBinding(new Key<List<String>>() {});
