Description

Consider the following:

package c 

import groovy.transform.CompileStatic

@CompileStatic
class C { 
	class MyBean { 
		String foo 
		int bar 
	} 
	class AnotherClass { 
		int createInt() { 
			return 1 
		} 
		String createString() { 
			return 'foo' 
		} 
	} 
	
	void doSomething() { 
		def a = new AnotherClass() 
		def b = new MyBean(foo: a.createString()) 
	} 
}

The compiler complains on new MyBean(...):

\src\main\groovy\c\C.groovy: 22: [Static type checking] - Cannot find matching method c.C$MyBean#<init>(c.C, java.util.LinkedHashMap <java.lang.String, java.lang.String>). Please check if the declared type is right and if the method exists.
 @ line 22, column 11.

Changing it to new C.MyBean(...) works though.
