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

It's not clear to me if this is a bug.

Dynamic Groovy does not match that constructor in 2.4.12 due to possible loss of precision (and I tried numerous versions back to 1.8.9 with the same result):
{noformat}
groovy.lang.GroovyRuntimeException:
Could not find matching constructor for: java.lang.Long(java.math.BigDecimal)
{noformat}
Perhaps we need an error message indicating possible loss of precision as the cause.

Static Groovy also rejects: {{Long foo = 5 / 3}} but dynamic Groovy accepts this.

Anyway, let's see what others think.
