>                 Key: GROOVY-9883
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-9883
>             Project: Groovy
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Static Type Checker
>    Affects Versions: 3.0.7
>            Reporter: Christopher Smith
>            Priority: Major
>
> The following code automatically coerces the UUID to a String:
> {code:groovy}
> String id = randomUUID()
> println id.class // java.lang.String
> {code}
> However, the following code passes STC but produces the following results:
> {code:groovy}
> Supplier<String> supplier = { randomUUID() } as Supplier // or Supplier<String>, no difference
> println supplier.get().class // java.util.UUID
> {code}
> Not sure whether this is related to GROOVY-9882, but they smell alike. This behavior seems a bigger problem than the other, as it will allow heap pollution. At a minimum, this code should produce a compile-time error complaining that the closure's return type does not match {{<String>}}.
