Description

package groovy.xml.dom.DOMCategory

defines methods

public static Object get(Element element, String elementName)

{ return getAt(element, elementName); }

public static Object getAt(Element element, int i) {
...
public static Object getAt(Element element, String elementName) {
...

a call like

use(DOMCategory.class){
myelement['subelementname']
}
produces

Caught: groovy.lang.GroovyRuntimeException: Ambiguous method overloading for method org.apache.xerces.dom.DeferredElementImpl#getAt.
Cannot resolve which method to invoke for

{class java.lang.String} due to overlapping prototypes between:
{class java.lang.String} {class java.lang.String}

while

myelement.'subelementname'
myelement[0]

both run fine
