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

             Summary: map.put(key,value) and map[key] = value differ is key is a GString
                 Key: GROOVY-9617
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-9617
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.5.10
            Reporter: Laurent Martelli


The subscript operator of Map transform {{GString}} keys to {{String. }}But {{put()}} does not. This is incoherent.

 
{code:java}
class App {

    static void main(String[] args) {
        println("subscript works: "+subscriptWorks())
        println("put works: "+putWorks())
    }

    static def subscriptWorks() {
        def map = [:]
        def x = "toto"
        def key = "$x"

        map[key] = "value"

        return map.containsKey(key)
    }

    static def putWorks() {
        def map = [:]
        def x = "toto"
        def key = "$x"

        map.put(key,"value")

        return map.containsKey(key)
    }
}
{code}
Outputs this :
{code:java}
subscript works: false
subscript works: true
{code}
It would be better to either cast all key parameters of all methods from GString to String or none. The current behaviour is very confusing.
