Hi Rahul,
I actually wrote code to do exactly that a few months ago -
https://github.com/shils/groovy-exp/blob/master/src/main/groovy/internal/transform/UseASTTransformation.groovy.
It most definitely has bugs, and its method selection process isn't very
robust (in comparison to Groovy's actual method selection process), but
feel free to try it out.
