             Summary: StaticTypeCheckingSupport#evaluateExpression can provide lightweight evaluation for simple expressions
                 Key: GROOVY-10353
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-10353
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Eric Milles
            Assignee: Eric Milles


{{StaticTypeCheckingSupport#evaluateExpression}} is used to evaluate annotation attribute expressions when processing AST transforms or static type checking.  When asked to eval a simple string constant, it could return a value directly.  This could save on cloning a compiler configuration and spinning up class parse, compile and execute.
