> All files were compiled with 'groovyc Test\[1234\].groovy'. I expected all
> tests to compile. I wouldn't have thought returning null would cause a static
> compilation failure since null is a valid String. Also, I expected test 3 and
> test 4 to be equivalent.
> The workaround appears to be to cast the closure, like:
> {code}
> Closure<String> closure = (Closure<String>) {
> ...
> }
> {code}
