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

             Summary: Line-wrapped assignment, typecast, method call parsed as class literal assignment
                 Key: GROOVY-9843
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-9843
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: parser
    Affects Versions: 3.0.6, 2.5.13, 4.0.0-alpha-1
            Reporter: Eric Milles


Consider the following:
{code:groovy}
def foo() {
}
@groovy.transform.TypeChecked
def bar() {
  Number n = (java.lang.Number)
    foo()
}
{code}

In our case "java.lang.Number" is quite a long type name and "foo" is quite a long method name, so we tried adding a newline between the typecast and the method call.  This cahneg causes Groovy to parse the sequence as two statements: "Number n = Number.class" and "foo()".

I'm guessing that "(TypeName)" is very rarely a class literal, except for maybe in a map literal.  Preference for a typecast seems needed.
