Description

The following code compiles in 1.7.2, but not in 1.7.3:

private enum EnumWithToString {
  VALUE
  String toString() { "I'm a value" }
}

groovyc output:

unexpected token: VALUE @ line 337, column 3.
     VALUE
     ^

1 error

The compile error goes away when adding a semicolon after "VALUE".
