Description

The following script:

class Test {
    void setProperty(String name, value) {
        println "instanceSetProperty"
    }

    void myMeth() {
        println 'instanceMyMeth'
    }
}

Test.metaClass.setProperty = { String name, value ->
   println 'metaSetProperty'
}
Test.metaClass.myMeth = { ->
   println 'metaMyMeth'
}
Test test = new Test()
test.a = 'b'
test.myMeth()

yields:

instanceSetProperty
metaMyMeth

The setProperty method added via the metaclass is ignored.
