Description

Java supports the use of iterators like so:

for (Iterator i = list.iterator();i.hasNext(){

The above in Groovy causes a compilation error:

unexpected token: )
= list.iterator();i.hasNext(){

but does support with an extra semicolon

for (Iterator i = list.iterator();i.hasNext();

Groovy should support the java syntax
