Description

int a = 41
int b = 4

void failsafe(Closure action) {
    try {
        action.call()
    } catch (Throwable e) {
        e.printStackTrace()
    }
}

GString gs = "${b}1"
failsafe { println gs == a } // true
failsafe { println a == gs } // throws ClassCastException

String s = '41'
failsafe { println a == s } // throws ClassCastException
failsafe { println s == a } // throws ClassCastException

I haven't attached a testcase as I'm not sure what the right behavior is.
