------------------------------------------
Any chance to have this backported to Groovy 4?
> Closure in base class unable to call private methods when invoked from
> derived class

> Closures defined in base classes are not able to access private methods in
> the same base class, when invoked from a derived class. Java visibility
> rules imply that this should not happen. When the private methods are made
> public, the error disappears. Also, when the closure is converted to a
> method the problem also disappears. Compiling and running the TestCase class
> included (along with Base class) should reproduce the problem. It's easier
> to see the problem than to try and describe it.
