Description

The current implementation expects to be given a ClassExpression for each class to Newify (for the Rubyesque style). Classes defined within the same script won't yet be processed into a ClassExpression but can be found in the source unit. The goal is to make the following work:

import groovy.transform.Immutable
abstract class Tree {}
@Immutable class Branch extends Tree { Tree left, right }
@Immutable class Leaf extends Tree { int val }
@Newify([Branch, Leaf])
def t = Branch(Leaf(1), Branch(Branch(Leaf(2), Leaf(3)), Leaf(4)))
assert t.toString() == 'Branch(Leaf(1), Branch(Branch(Leaf(2), Leaf(3)), Leaf(4)))'
