> coerce GString to String when used as Map key

> When a GString is used as the key for a bracket-style map get (in this case, 
> from an overly verbose CSV file):
> {code}
> row["$param URL"]
> {code}
> the {{GStringImpl}} object is passed directly to {{Map#get(Object)}}. Since 
> GStrings are never equal to Strings, this means that the get will always 
> return null.
> If {{row}} is explicitly declared as a {{Map<String,?>}}, however, Groovy 
> ought to identify the intended behavior (using a templated string as a map 
> key) and use the string value instead.
> The current behavior is a problem because even in static compilation mode, 
> where the generic key bound is known, Groovy does not complain about the use 
> of a GString here (because it normally treats GStrings as valid for 
> {{String}} targets?), but the lookup will fail at runtime.
