Description

The following code

 
class PrimeSupport {
    static isPrime(Number candidate){
        true
    }
    static isPrime(Float candidate) { false }
    static isPrime(Double candidate) { false }
    static isPrime(BigDecimal candidate) { false }
}

use(PrimeSupport) {
   
    println 13.isPrime()
    println 13.2.isPrime()

}

returns true and true with JDK 1.5 and 1.6, Groovy 1.1-Beta3 and HEAD.

With JDK1.4 it return true and false with Groovy 1.1-Beta3, but with
HEAD it also returns true and true.

My understanding is that it should return true and false. Is my
understanding wrong?
