Description

Trying to create a method closure from a staic metod fails...

y = (new Object()).hashCode
println y()
//succeeds

x = System.currentTimeMillis
println x()
// fails with
// "No such property: currentTimeMillis for class: java.lang.System. Reason: java.lang.NoSuchFieldException: currentTimeMillis"

Also... I don't think 'use' is too wild about static methods either.
