_From [mattmccutchen@google.com](https://code.google.com/u/100074016002343462025/) on October 07, 2011 00:56:10_
I have a situation in a Google project in which I would like to modify several modules to all install a common module but have the common module installed only once, to avoid errors about duplicate bindings. It occurred to me that MultiBinder must have a solution for this, and indeed it does: Guice deduplicates modules according to Object#equals. This behavior is mentioned on a few blogs but is not officially documented in Guice anywhere I could find. Please document it, e.g., on the Module class or on Binder#install.
