Comment by amcna...@google.com:
Another way to avoid doing work inside "configure()" is to move heavyweight
object creation to Providers (in particular, avoiding toInstance bindings
for nontrivial instances).
This means that if you want to write unit tests for the injector or
modules, or if you do need to override bindings, you can safely assume
those objects will not be created.
This isn't to say there's anything wrong with the Service approach (it's a
great approach, in fact), but it might not make sense in all cases.
