Description

If you have an injected field with a paramterized type, e.g.

@Inject
private Iterator<Resource> someResources;

And then want that field injected using the request attribute injector, it fails logging the message:

BindingsInjector doesn't support non-class type {}

Obviously that error message is wrong (because it is the RequestAttributeInjector), but it would be best if we could support parameterized types here, even if it means an unsafe cast.
