[jira] [Commented] (GROOVY-8633) MME on Class receiver via method closure

["Eric Milles (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8633?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16502387#comment-16502387 ] 

Eric Milles commented on GROOVY-8633:
-------------------------------------

I think this example is similar to {{def ABC = ['a','b','c'].collect(String.&toUpperCase)}}, which has not been supported in any Groovy release.  I think the JIRA ticket for implementing Lambdas mentions this gap/issue as well.
