Fun with groovy maps and function call syntax

A function having a Map as first parameter:

void doIt(Map attrs, Object content) {
  println attrs
  println content
}

supports equally valid call syntax variations:

// "classical" call syntax, known from java world
doIt([color: 'red', type: 'fruit'], 'hello!')

// parentheses can be omitted
doIt [color: 'red', type: 'fruit'], 'hello!'

// even square brackets for map can be omitted
doIt color: 'red', type: 'fruit', 'hello!'

// order of map properties does not matter,
// map properties can be intermixed with unnamed parameters.

doIt color: 'red', 'hello!', type: 'fruit'

doIt 'hello!', type: 'fruit', color: 'red'

this effectively allows to implement named parameters in groovy.
