Description

It would be good to support annotations for package definitions and import statements.
It would allow scripts like this:

@Grab(group='commons-lang', module='commons-lang', version='2.4')
package foo

@Grab(group='com.google.collections', module='google-collections', version='1.0-rc2')
import com.google.common.collect.HashBiMap
import static org.apache.commons.lang.WordUtils.*

def fruit = [grape:'purple', lemon:'yellow', orange:'orange'] as HashBiMap
assert capitalize(fruit.inverse().yellow) == 'Lemon'
