Cannot multiInject named bindings

[JbIPS]

Let's imagine the following class hierarchy:

interface Weapon {
}

interface BladedWeapon extends Weapon {
}

class Katana implements BladedWeapon {
}

class Stick implements Weapon {
}

Current bindings are following:

container.bind<Weapon>('Weapon').to(Stick).whenTargetNamed('stick');
container.bind<Weapon>('Weapon').to(Katana).whenTargetNamed('katana');

In one part of my code I would like to get all instances of Weapon interface:

@multiInject('Weapon') weapons: Weapon[];

In the other part I would like to get katana:

@inject('Weapon') @named('katana') katana: Katana;

Expected Behavior

@multiInject('Weapon') should return Stick and Katana, @named should only return Katana.

Current Behavior

I currently get an error

 Error: No matching bindings found for serviceIdentifier: 'Weapon'

I use this way to handle that "correctly" :

container.bind<Stick>('Stick').to(Stick);
container.bind<Katana>('Katana').to(Katana);

container.bind<Weapon>('Weapon').toService('Stick');
container.bind<Weapon>('Weapon').toService('Katana');

This way you can use @inject('Stick') or @multiInject('Weapon') given the situation
