If you want to use `is` in your DSL you could try:
def check(condition) {
// Define and initialize a new map
def map = [:]
// Remove the `is` method from the map's metaclass
map.metaClass.is = null
// Add the key-value pair we care for the DSL
map[is] = { bool ->
println "checking if $condition yields $bool, with 'is'"
}
// Return the map
map
}
I don't know if the above follows good practices or at very least is a good
idea (remember that I'm very new) but it works.
