Description

As of Groovy 2.5 @Named* annotations are processed by AST transformation which disallows to apply the annotations to Java classes. Would be nice if this becomes a language feature similar to how @DelegatesTo and @ClosureParams annotation works which can be used in Java code and Groovy compiler still understands them.
