*

* injected dependencies can be satisfied. Set {@code complete=false} to
* disable this check for the current module.
*
- Detect unused bindings. Dagger can check that all
* provides methods are used to satisfy injected dependencies. Set
* {@code library=true} to disable this check for the current module.
