Eric Milles updated GROOVY-11492:
---------------------------------
    Description: 
There are a few cases where bare array initializers are not yet supported:

# {{int[][] array = \{ \{1,2\}, \{3,4\} \};}}
# {{@Target(\{ ElementType.FIELD, ElementType.METHOD \})}}
# {code:groovy}@interface A {
  String[] strings() default {}
}
{code}

These were implemented as part of [1] but the PR was closed.  It may be worth 
looking back over what was done and re-implementing one or more of these cases. 
 It was noted that {{Closure[] array = \{\};}} is one of the edge cases that 
leads to ambiguity.
