      The method pointer operator (.&) is entirely broken. The following test:

      def bar = 'foo'.&toUpperCase

      Results in:

      startup failed:
General error during canonicalization: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException

      Plus a giant call stack.

      The workaround is to instead explicitly create a closure which calls the method, which is syntactically cumbersome and reduces semantic readability.
