Fix for GROOVY-7625
----
> Slashy string in groovy allows brackets but double quoted string does not.
> Why?
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GROOVY-7625
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7625
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Documentation
> Reporter: Aseem Bansal
> Priority: Minor
>
> This
> println("$()")
> gives me a compiler error "Either escape a dollar sign or bracket the value
> expression"
> But this
> println(/$()/)
> prints `$()` fine. No errors
> Why is there a difference? The only documented difference is that slashy
> strings make working with backslashes easier. I understand that a variable
> name cannot start with a bracket so it should be possible to make that
> special case. Is that the case for the slashy strings?
> Just came across this when doing something with regex.
