Project: Groovy
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Compiler
Affects Versions: 2.4.8

Groovy prefers the . (dereference) operator over the decimal interpretation,
but does not permit use of decimals that are conventional:

groovysh_parse: 2: unexpected token: . @ line 2, column 1.
.3

groovy:000> (.3)
groovysh_parse: 2: unexpected token: . @ line 2, column 2.
(.3)
^
groovy:000> (3.)
groovysh_parse: 2: unexpected token: ) @ line 2, column 4.
(3.)
^
groovy:000> -.3
