Description

The simple script:

println "Hello World"
final foo = "Foo is final"
println foo
foo = "Yet foo has changed"
println foo

outputs:
Hello World
Foo is final
Yet foo has changed

groovy should error when the final variable foo is re-assigned

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not as 'foo' is a variable in the Binding so the final modifier is not applied. But if the final keyword is used with a class property then it will work as expected.

If final should work at script level, should static and access modifiers too?
