Description

I assume this is a hard fix, as it is mentioned in GROOVY-2599, but the following code passes all the asserts. I would have expected them all to fail?

String.metaClass.toString = {-> "silly"}
StringBuffer.metaClass.toString = {-> "silly"}
StringBuilder.metaClass.toString = {-> "silly"}

assert "hello world".toString() == "hello world"
assert new StringBuffer("hello world").toString() == "hello world"
assert new StringBuilder("hello world").toString() == "hello world"

I have added it as a new issue as I don't believe GROOVY-2599 actually covers this problem, it just crops up in the comments
