Jochen Theodorou resolved GROOVY-7693.
--------------------------------------
    Resolution: Won't Fix
      Assignee: Jochen Theodorou

I don't think we can fix that really. just think of for example {{foo-bar}}. Is this now supposed to be a method call of the method foo with the expression {{-bar}}, or is that supposed to be variable/property {{foo}} minus variable/property {{bar}}? The expression case gives us more merit, thus you will have to write {{foo(-bar)}} to make it work.
