Description

String s = 'anyString'
Long l = 1

def m = [(s): [l]] as Map<String,List<Long>>
def g = 1

Code above cause exception:

org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:
/tmp/t.groovy: 5: expecting EOF, found 'def' @ line 5, column 1.

If add `;` at the end of `def m = [(s): [l]] as Map<String,List<Long>>`, then all works fine.
