Description

I would like @Override to be allowed (and verified) on fields that implement an interface.

For instance, this is valid Groovy code: 

interface Parent {
    String getSetting()
}
class Child implements Parent {
    final String setting ='my setting'
}

I'd like to add the @Override to the field and have the compiler verify that it does override the getter in the parent. It should work on boolean getters too, I suppose.
