/**
* This will let the Groovy compiler use compile time checks in the style of Java
* then perform static compilation, thus bypassing the Groovy meta object protocol.
*
* When a class is annotated, all methods, properties, files, inner classes, etc.
* of the annotated class will be type checked. When a method is annotated, static
* compilation applies only to items (closures and anonymous inner clsses) within
* the method.
*
* By using {@link TypeCheckingMode#SKIP}, static compilation can be skipped on an
* element within a class or method otherwise marked with CompileStatic. For example
* a class can be annotated with CompileStatic, and a method within can be marked
* to skip static checking to use dynamic language features.
