> When calling {{CompilerConfiguration.setTragetByteCode()}} with an invalid value, the user could be left thinking they set the value properly, when they didn't. One example is using {{"8"}} instead of the valid {{{}"1.8"{}}}. If the method failed for invalid values it would be easy to detect such a problem.
> Note that this problem is mostly hidden for Groovy 3, where Java 8 is the default target bytecode version. However, in Groovy 4 the target bytecode version defaults to the Java version being used. Setting this value to {{"8"}} thus results in the expected behavior in Groovy 3, but produces incorrect behavior in Groovy 4 when used with a Java version other than 8.
