I used to be able to create convenience functions for set bindings like this:

fun DI.Builder.bindFoo() = bind<Foo>().inSet()

which I could then call like this:

bindFoo() with singleton { ... }

It looks like inSet is deprecated now, and I have to create my convenience function like this:

fun DI.Builder.bindFoo(binding: () -> DIBinding<*, *, out Foo>) =
  inBindSet { add(binding) }

which is ugly since the DIBinding type is no longer inferred by the compiler as its a parameter rather than a return value. Am I missing something?

Things become marginally better with a type alias:

typealias DITypeBinding<T> = () -> DIBinding<*, *, out T>

and now I can declare:

fun DI.Builder.bindFoo(binding: DITypeBinding<Foo>) =
  inBindSet { add(binding) }

but its still a bit ugly.
