It would be useful for the groovy compiler to generate a warning if an imported class can not be found on the classpath. In particular this would help diagnose the following problem:

import java.util.Date
import org.groovyco.IsoDateFormat

class SomeClass {
    def doSomething() {
        // ...
        IsoDateFormat.format(new Date())
    }
}

If IsoDateFormat is not available on the classpath at compile time, the above class will compile fine, but it will fail at runtime with a "MissingPropertyException: IsoDateFormat".
