>    Affects Versions: 2.4.15
>            Reporter: Eric Milles
>            Assignee: Paul King

> When the method below is executed as-is, the output is "java.lang.String" x3.  When {{@CompileStatic}} is uncommented, the output is "java.lang.Character" x3.  Is it possible to have dynamic groovy match the static compilation result?
> {code:groovy}
> //@groovy.transform.CompileStatic
> void meth() {
>   for (c in 'abc')
>     println c.class.name
> }
> {code}
> Similarly, {{'abc'*.anything}} applies to Strings of length one instead of Characters.  Although, spread-dot is not supported against strings under static compilation.  Is it possible to add that support?
