Description

MarkupBuilder doesn't appear to allow references to variables inside of markup. Test case:

import groovy.xml.MarkupBuilder

class Bean {
String b
}

t = new Bean()
t.b = "hello"
println t.b
println "test: ${t.b}"

xml = new MarkupBuilder()
root = xml.foo {
bar {
// works
baz("test")
// fails
baz(t.b)
// fails
baz("${t.b}")
}
}

Output with 1.0-Beta 3:

hello
test: hello
<foo>
<bar>
<baz>test</baz>
<t />Caught: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No such method: bar for cla
ss: test$2 with arguments: [test$3@bfc8e0]
groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No such method: bar for class: test$2 with a
rguments: [test$3@bfc8e0]

I also get the same results with an embedded version of 1.0-Beta 4.
