Currently you have to check before hand if an object is a GroovyObject and then have selective logic to obtain the MetaClass:

def metaClass
if(obj instanceof GroovyObject) metaClass = obj.metaClass
else {
  metaClass = GroovySystem.metaClassRegistry.getMetaClass(obj.class)
}

This is ugly and error prone. There should be a property on all objects that simplifies this logic to just:

def metaClass = obj.metaClass
