Description

With a method

public <T> T Stub(Closure interactions); 

that is then used like

Foo foo = Stub { /* configure the foo here */ } 

I'd like to be able to specify that the delegate is of type T so in the given example of type Foo.

Currently we do this in Spock via IDE-specific gdsl/dsld Scripts.
But it would be nice if this would be supported out of the box.

(Ideally in 2.5 already, as we still have a 2.5 compatible artifact. )
