This is a slippery slope IMHO.
Adding custom syntax support in core for GPars might sound like a good idea
given the fact that GPars is bundled with core. OTOH what about Spock, Grails,
Ratpack and others? Wouldn't they benefit from custom syntax too? probably yes.
Are they bundled with core? no, and they shouldn't.
My recommendation would be to prototype an AST transformation that can support
the syntax, just like Spock does it.
One more thing, I would be very sad to see Groovy become a pale shade of Scala.
Custom syntax and new operators are pushing Groovy in that direction.
