   It is filling a hole in existing functionality. Take `find` and `findAll` for instance, they have the no Closure variants:
   ```
   var list = [null, '', 'A', null, 'B']
   assert list.findAll() == ['A', 'B']
   assert list.find() == 'A'
   ```
   These return all (or the first) element that satisfies Groovy truth. It is common in Groovy to provide these shortcuts even though `findAll { it }` and `find { it }` would do in the above examples. The same applies for `groupBy`, `collect`, `collectEntries`, and others. We have never gotten around to providing the findResult/s variants which is what this PR does. It improves Groovy's consistency in the API.
