Description

GROOVY-2098 says that propertyMissing(String) is for getters, while propertyMissing(String,Object) is for setters.

But as the code snippet below shows, when propertyMissing(String) is missing, missing getters are handled by propertyMissing(String,Object):

class Sample {

    /**
    def propertyMissing(String name) {
        return "propertyMissing(String)"
    }
    **/

    def propertyMissing(String name, value) {
        return "propertyMissing(String,Object)"
    }
}

println new Sample().missing // Prints `propertyMissing(String,Object)`

Is this a bug?
