> I was reading meta programming documentation when I noticed that "this method is called when the method you called is not present on a Groovy object"
> As per the diagram it is incorrect. It is invoked when methodMissing is not present. This statement is as per the diagram.
> Also as per the answer at this is not an appropriate example  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19220370/what-is-the-difference-between-invokemethod-and-methodmissing
> Saying this because the answer by blackdrag (who I understand is a core committer to groovy) says that methodMissing should be used instead. 
> Also the same page mentions "overhead of invokeMethod". It would be nic e to have a better explanation in the section of invokeMethod itself.
> I am not knowledgeable about this so cannot suggest what can be added. But it would be better to have the explanation in the official docs.
