------------------------------------------------------------

The image is definitely meant to be a summary of what goes on. There is scope for adding more detail but it might then become harder to get the overall picture. Also, when you start looking at the trickier areas such as inheritance, I think there might be some edge cases with slight differences when you look at ExpandoMetaClass vs categories vs ExtensionMethods. The current plan was to make simplifications for MOP2 that would potentially allow us to produce a more comprehensive picture that was still readable and hopefully with edge case anomalies removed or greatly reduced.

When writing ReGinA we covered in reasonable detail all the parts of the behavior that we thought were stable and commonly used. I;m not sure whether that would help you. Some less commonly used parts which we thought might change with MOP2 we tried to just summarize. I'll have a look at the SO question if I get time but the next few weeks are pretty hectic.

> I am reading groovy metaprogramming documentation and saw that the image present is wrong. I mean there is an image present but the flow is wrong.
> It has a block "Method exists in MetaClass or Class" two times. One after GroovyInterceptable and other after the first "Method exists in MetaClass or Class" .
> I tried a simple program and as per this I believe the first block should have class only and second block should have MetaClass only
