Major Description
Given:
trait Foo {
static methodMissing(String name, args) {
println name
}
}
class Bar implements Foo{}
Bar.callMe()
The above produces a MissingMethodException. Since the methodMissing definition is static the method should be renamed to `$static_methodMissing` (and `$static_propertyMissing` for the property version) to align them with the internal methods:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-groovy/blob/master/src/main/groovy/lang/MetaClassImpl.java#L108
Note that defining:
trait Foo {
static $static_methodMissing(String name, args) {
println name
}
}
class Bar implements Foo{}
Bar.callMe()
Does not work either, so currently there is no way to define a static method missing without involving an AST transform.
