Paul King commented on GROOVY-7564:
-----------------------------------
With my pedantic hat on, I would say I would expect
{{InvokerHelper.inspect('a\\b')}} to return {{'a\\b'}}.
The formatXXX methods are to some degree "general purpose" formatting methods
that Groovy might use to display objects in a variety of ways. I am not sure we
have ever guaranteed that they would always align with what "inspect" should
produce. I know that currently one directly calls the other and only uses the
verbose flag to half convey the intentions. It might be time to make the
intention a bit clearer.
BTW, I am very much in favor of your refactoring efforts. We never finished
pushing the safe and maxSize params throughout all of the code and we still do
not handle a bunch of edge cases properly as you've no doubt discovered. I
would also suggest perhaps making a FormatHelper class and moving all of the
formatting related methods into it - leaving deprecated stubs in InvokerHelper
for b/w compatibility. I was going to do this at one stage earlier on but we
ran out of time to finished the refactoring during a release cycle and backed
away.
My comments here are very general but I am happy to work with you to progress
some specific parts if that makes sense.
