As of Groovy DevCon #3, it has been decided that some Antlr grammar clean-up were in order.
Jeremy can expand on the details of the clean-up to be made.

As of Groovy DevCon #3, it has been decided that some Antlr grammar clean-up were in order.
Jeremy can expand on the details of the clean-up to be made.
Adding as comment, to make it easier to find when we go looking for it:
Grammar cleanup - from groovydevcon3
REMOVED
o break with value from loops
for (i in 1..100) {
break 2
}
o continue with value from loops
for (i in 1..100) {
continue 2
}
o break/continue label no longer need a colon afterwards
(because previous two items now removed)
for (i in 1..100) {
break label1:
}
-Becomes-
for (i in 1..100) {
break label1
}
o "with" keyword removed
with(foo) { bar() }
o Scope Escape($) removed
println([$x, x, y])
o "any" keyword removed
any bar = "";
o Spread argument directly in GStrings removed
def bar = [1,2,3]
def g = "foo$*bar"
FIXED
o Qualified Exception Types now work
def foo() throws bar.MookyException{}
ADDED
o with() added to Object [1,2,3].with {
it << 4
println it
}
(this is what I would have called Object.identity()
all along if "with" wasn't a keyword,
o.identity {...} now synonym for o.with {...} )
