## Class MethodPointerExpression

- java.lang.Object
- - org.codehaus.groovy.ast.ASTNode
  - - org.codehaus.groovy.ast.AnnotatedNode
    - - org.codehaus.groovy.ast.expr.Expression
      - - org.codehaus.groovy.ast.expr.MethodPointerExpression

-     public class MethodPointerExpression
      extends Expression

  Represents a method pointer on an object such as foo.&bar which means find the method pointer on foo for the method called "bar" which is equivalent to `foo.metaClass.getMethodPointer(foo, "bar")`
