Description

The `@Generated` annotation was added a couple of releases ago to indicate that a method/class was generated by the compiler (most likely via AST transformations). This annotation is already applied to methods defined by `GroovyObject` however it has yet to be applied to many of the generated methods added by core AST transformations.
