add convenience method for binding an instance to its own class

I use tiny classes to implement flags, and often find myself writing this:

  bind(SomeClass.class).toInstance(new SomeClass(arg1));

It would be convenient to abbreviate it to:

  bindInstance(new SomeClass(arg1));

I don't care for this - it encourages injecting concrete types, and toInstance(). http://publicobject.com/2007/06/thoughts-on-java-as-configuration.html
