Description

As of 2.2.0 it's no longer possible to delegate (via the @Delegate annotation) to a method whose name contains a dollar ($) character. The attached test case compiles and runs without error under Groovy 2.1.3 and 2.1.6, but fails to compile with the following error under 2.2.0:

> Caught: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: Delegating.te$t() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.Integer) values: [42]
> Possible solutions: test(java.lang.Integer), wait(), getAt(java.lang.String), wait(long), wait(long, int), dump()
