https://github.com/apache/grails-core/pull/15557 has been updated and I
think we are there from a merge-ability standpoint for Groovy 5 in Grails 8.
There are some smaller open items, with functional workarounds in place.
Most have Groovy JIRA tickets.
Thanks for all the hard work to get this ready.
