The following code will not compile with Groovy:

Math.ceil(1/2)

Groovy insists that it try to find Math.ceil(BigDecimal), as opposed to performing the conversion to a double. The following will work though:

Math.ceil((double)1/2)

But the above should not be necessary as Groovy should unbox it.

Incidentally, this did work with version 2.4.12 and below.
