Description

If you do uncomment the 'todo' text in groovy.gdo.Person test so that the Person is used as an expression, then do

maven clean test

the test will fail.

This is due to the Person class not being found at the time the PersonTest is being compiled.

We need to have an interim step which once we've created the AST will spot class names as variables and expand them as ClassExpressions using the AST as well as the classpath
