Description

If I use @Newify on a local variable declaration, I am getting an error that the class value is not resolvable.

@Newify(Date)
def d = Date(1234L)

results in:

Script1.groovy: 1: Error during @Newify processing. Annotation parameter must be a class or list of classes but found an unresolvable reference to 'Date'.
 @ line 1, column 9.
   @Newify(Date)
           ^

It looks like org.codehaus.groovy.classgen.VariableScopeVisitor.visitDeclarationExpression is missing a call to visitAnnotations. Classes, fields, and methods all have this call. When I add it, the VariableExpression resolves to a ClassExpression as expected.
