Hi folks, Sorry to be the bad cop again, but when the heck did this land into core:
https://github.com/apache/groovy/blob/5443e87882f9b88169876f6d043ed54b5ae9023b/src/main/java/org/codehaus/groovy/control/CompilerConfiguration.java#L943-L988 As much as I love static compilation, this should never have landed into master, at least not without an agreement. I strongly believe enabling static compilation by default using a system property is a bad thing. We already have an official, supported mechanism for this, which is documented [1], so adding one silently is not very nice. I reckon lots of users want to have static compilation by default, but I don't think a system property is the way to go.
