Description

In the sample below, the first short-hand (Integer case) is recognised, the second two aren't for constructors even though they are for methods and work if "<init>" is used instead:

Integer.metaClass {
    constructor = { List l -> l.size() }
}
Short.metaClass {
    constructor { List l -> l.size() as short }
}
Long.metaClass {
    constructor << { List l -> l.size() as long }
}

def result = [[] as Short, ['foo'] as Integer, ['bar', 'baz'] as Long]
assert result.toString() == '[0, 1, 2]'
assert result*.class == [Short, Integer, Long]
