title: Is there a "use strict" for Groovy?
body: <p>I remember from my Perl days the "<a href="http://perldoc.perl.org/strict.html" rel="noreferrer">use strict</a>" statement that cause the runtime to do extra validations. Is there an equivalent for Groovy?</p>
  
  <p>I do not enjoy being bitten during runtime by what can be detected on compilation, like passing too few arguments to a constructor.</p>
