Description

As per the following conversation:

http://groovy.markmail.org/search/?q=Power%20assert%20question%20when%20asserting%20closure%20calls#query:Power%20assert%20question%20when%20asserting%20closure%20calls+page:1+mid:bzbavvzceem3dd2z+state:results

We should make closure calls look like method calls.

So for:

def closure = { it }
assert closure(false)

instead of:

assert closure(false)
       |
       ConsoleScript1$_run_closure1@575fa5

we should get:

assert closure(false)
       |
       false

If one really wans to see the toString() of the closure, he could still do:

assert closure.call(false)
       |       |
       |       false
       ConsoleScript2$_run_closure1@f1584a
