Description

in class org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.InvokerHelper, there are methods used to print out Objects. The methods sometimes have a maxsize, verbose or safe argument, but they do not have them consistently. I suggest changing the private API so that methods for all Collection/Map types have the same API and same functionality.
