Description

If I declare a private field like this...

Person.groovy
class Person {
   private firstName
}

I can still access this field from another class like this...

Foo.groovy
class Foo {
   def doIt() {
       def p = new Person(firstName:'Jeff')
       println p.firstName
   }
   static void main(args) {
       new Foo().doIt()
   }
}

I don't think that I should be able to access p.firstName inside of the Foo class.
