Description
Similar things have been touched before, like GROOVY-2340. But I didn't see exactly this. I'm not sure if single character GStrings are even a thing. Sorry if they aren't.
But I found the following a bit inconsistent:
final String S = 'A' final Character C = 'A' final GString G = "$S" final Number N = 65 assert C == S && S == G // 1a assert C == G // 1b assert S == C && G == S // 2a //assert G == C // 2b, fails, inconsistent with 2a and 1b assert N == S && S == G // 3a //assert N == G // 3b, fails, inconsistent with 3a assert S == N && G == S // 4a //assert G == N // 4b, fails, inconsistent with 4a
So, a single character GString equals a character, but only if it is on RHS. It doesn't equal a number, ever. I wonder if it should behave like String here.
If there's interest in "fixing" this, I've got a patch that allows all those asserts pass and doesn't seem to fail any of the existing test cases.
