    Description

      C:\>groovy -e "(i++)++"
Caught: java.lang.VerifyError: (class: script_from_command_line, method: run signature: ()Ljava/lang/Object;) 
Unable to pop operand off an empty stack

      In Java this is not a valid expression, but w/ overloadable operators in Groovy I guess it should be? In any case, VerifyError is not the appropriate thing to do - if this expression is not valid, some sort of syntax error might be better and more informative?
