> We originally gave TupleConstructor RUNTIME retention policy since it might provide a small amount of introspection information for future tools. But so far, as far as I know, it hasn't been used. Given that it makes certain usages impossible, I propose to put back to SOURCE retention policy. This will allow code such as shown below to be possible:
> {code}
> import groovy.transform.*
> import java.awt.Color
> class Named {
>     String name
> }
> @ToString(includeSuperProperties=true, ignoreNulls=true, includeNames=true, includeFields=true)
> @TupleConstructor(force=true, defaults=false)
> @TupleConstructor(force=true, defaults=false, includeFields=true)
> @TupleConstructor(force=true, defaults=false, includeSuperProperties=true)
> class Cat extends Named {
>     int age
>     private Color color
> }
> assert new Cat("Felix", 3).toString() == 'Cat(age:3, name:Felix)'
> assert new Cat(3, Color.BLACK).toString() == 'Cat(age:3, color:java.awt.Color[r=0,g=0,b=0])'
> assert new Cat(3).toString() == 'Cat(age:3)'
> {code}
