Description

Consider the following:

class Outer {
  private static int VALUE = 1
  static class Inner {
    def getProperty(String name) {
      if (name == "VALUE") return 2
    }
    void test() {
      print VALUE
    }
  }
}
new Outer.Inner().test()

Expecting "2" but prints "1". If Inner provides a "generic" property via getProperty, get or via a Map interface it is not used.
