[GROOVY-4770] "constructor" in EMC DSL doesn't work as expected

Description

class Foo {}
Foo.metaClass.constructor =

{ println "in constructor" }
foo = new Foo()

This prints "in constructor" as expected.
But an equivalent EMC DSL:

Foo.metaClass {
constructor { println "in constructor" }

}

doesn't work. (no output)
Looks like it's recognized as just a regular method named "constructor".
