// While METHOD is the only valid target for Dagger, FIELD was added to support Hilt's
// @BindValueIntoMap and TYPE was added to support external extension types since it likely won't
// cause confusion/maintenance issues as this isn't part of Dagger's core API.
// See discussion on https://github.com/google/dagger/pull/2831#issuecomment-919417457 for details.
