Hi all,

(on latest groovy 3.0.5 and OpenJDK 14) omitting the empty parentheses to the 
.size() call works, but throws an illegal reflective access warning:

```
groovy:000> [1,2,3].size
WARNING: An illegal reflective access operation has occurred
WARNING: Illegal reflective access by 
org.codehaus.groovy.reflection.ReflectionUtils 
(file:/home/paul/.sdkman/candidates/groovy/3.0.5/lib/groovy-3.0.5.jar) to field 
java.util.ArrayList.size
WARNING: Please consider reporting this to the maintainers of 
org.codehaus.groovy.reflection.ReflectionUtils
WARNING: Use --illegal-access=warn to enable warnings of further illegal 
reflective access operations
WARNING: All illegal access operations will be denied in a future release
===> 3
```

Curiously, the size() method seems to be the only parameter-less method where I 
can
omit the empty parentheses – all others throw a MissingPropertyException (as 
expected).

What is the desired behaviour, and why is it even working (albeit with 
warnings) with .size ?
