Description

This was fixed in 2004 as GROOVY-251, but does not seem to be valid with 1.6:

groovy> x = .75

1 compilation error:

unexpected token: . at line: 1, column: 5

If this is expected behaviour, http://groovy.codehaus.org/Groovy+Math is out of date, as the grammar section contains the lines:

DecimalPointLiteral:
Digits . Digits ExponentPart (optional) DecimalTypeSuffix (optional)
. Digits ExponentPart (optional) DecimalTypeSuffix (optional)
