Description

In the docs of Closure (groovy.lang.Closure), for the resolution strategy OWNER_ONLY, the example code is wrong.
The line def cl =

{ y = x + y }

should be def cl =

{ y = x + y + z}

which would throw the exception as mentioned later in the example. The current example runs fine without exception and hence does not explain the concept correctly.
