using BindInstance on fields of injected instances fails validation

[pajama]

[Inject] Quest _quest;

public override void InstallBindings()
{
    //works
    Container.BindInstance(_quest);
    //works
    Container.BindInstance<QuestId>().FromMethod(() => _quest.Id);

    //does not work
    Container.BindInstance(_quest.Id);
}

This is expected, because by default validation does not instantiate any dependencies, including those dependencies that are injected into installers. Typically the way we recommend getting around this is to mark some classes with the [ZenjectAllowDuringValidation] attribute as described here

@svermeulen makes sense. Thanks for clarifying!
