Description

I get a compile error on annotations which are defined for closure parameters. This is a minimal and complete example where the problem occurs:

public @interface description {
String value()
}

newClassImpl = { @description("Whether the class is abstract") boolean abstr ->
}

The compile error in this case says "class description is not an annotation in @description".
