It is filling a hole in existing functionality. Take `find` and `findAll`
for instance, they have the no Closure variants:
```
var list = [null, '', 'A', null, 'B']
assert list.findAll() == ['A', 'B']
assert list.find() == 'A'
```
These return all (or the first) element that satisfies Groovy truth. It is
common in Groovy to provide these shortcuts even though `findAll { it }` and
`find { it }` would do in the above examples. The same applies for `groupBy`,
`collect`, `collectEntries`, and others. We have never gotten around to
providing the findResult/s variants which is what this PR does. It improves
Groovy's consistency in the API.
