can you tell me which invoke instruction are how supposed to be able to 
call default methods? I am sure that if Foo implements Bar and bar() is 
a default method on Bar, that an invokevirtual Foo#bar() is supposed to 
be ok. But what about invokespecial on Bar#bar (like a super call)?

it is not a source incompatibility for us, but since it is Groovy code, 
not Java code that might be another story
