Description

"$it << x"

throws org.codehaus.groovy.syntax.parser.UnexpectedTokenException: expected <identifier>; found '' at unknown location

Note this is a string of the form "$"

{x}

" where x is the closure

{it << x}

Whilst this is a silly example, there is a real application for this construct which looks like "${{it << x}

.asWritable()}"
