How to do method aliasing in groovy?

Question

I am trying to redefine dynamic methods of a domain in groovy. Is there something similar alias method in ruby in groovy?

Accepted Answer

Do you mean like the method reference operator `.&` ?

```
def out = System.out.&println
out << "Hello"
```

and

```
def greet(name) {
    println "Hello $name"
}

def sayHello = this.&greet

sayHello "Ronny"
```

It is mentioned at http://groovy.codehaus.org/Operators but an example is missing
