Description

http://groovy-lang.org/objectorientation.html#properties

In the discussion of pseudo properties, the following code (an assignment)

p.name = 'Foo' [1]

is explained in note 1 as:

[1] reading p.name is allowed because there is a pseudo-property name

Since the code is an assignment, it should read "writing p.name is ...."
