Description

Given this class:

@Immutable class Y { Collection c = []; int foo = 1 }

I expect the following to succeed:

def y = new Y()
assert y.c.class.name.constains('Unmodifiable')

In general, calling the no-arg constructor won't provide an interesting result unless the properties have default values but the constructor call should pass nonetheless.
