--------------------------------------------------------------
Standalone testcase:
{code:java}
def odds = [1, 3]
def evens = [2, 4]
assert [*odds, *evens].sort() == 1..4 // Okay
assert [*odds.toSet(), *evens.toSet()].sort() == 1..4 //
IllegalArgumentException
{code}
Currently, the spread operator works on lists and arrays (and {{null}}) which
have a well-defined order:
https://github.com/apache/groovy/blob/master/src/main/java/org/codehaus/groovy/runtime/ScriptBytecodeAdapter.java#L930-L936
I guess we could also support Set or indeed Iterable. Then it would be up to
users to use a class that has a well-defined order, if that is what they need
from the spread result.
