Eric Milles commented on GROOVY-9982:
-------------------------------------
Note: If "foo" was a local variable or parameter within Child, you would lose
access to {{Base#foo()}}. There is a transformation performed by
{{VariableScopeVisitor}} in that case:

> Can't assign a field with the result of a method call of the same name from a
