[jira] [Commented] (GROOVY-7377) Interpolated variable followed by asterisk in slashy-string causes compiler error

["Paul King (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7377?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14547858#comment-14547858 ] 

Paul King commented on GROOVY-7377:
-----------------------------------

Another interesting snippet from here:
http://marc.info/?l=groovy-scm&m=118311049022736

Relevant piece:
{noformat}
o Spread argument directly in GStrings removed
        def bar = [1,2,3]
        def g = "foo$*bar"
{noformat}
So indeed, '$*' was supported pre June 2007
