Eric Milles updated GROOVY-9239:
--------------------------------
    Description: 
A bit of a rare use case, but ran into it and noticed {{MethodReferenceExpression}} has no support for this sort thing.  Java supports generics for method references.

For example:
{code:groovy}
def <T extends CharSequence> T chars() { ... }
Supplier s = this::<String>chars
{code}
