Description

For me, this INCORRECTLY compiles:

interface I {
  String s
}

Execution in 1.7beta2 groovyconsole gives:

groovy> interface I {
groovy>   String s
groovy> }
groovy> println I.s

null 

I smell a bug...

For Java, the rule is: "Every field in the body of an interface must have an initialization expression,..."
