Just commenting on the one above line. For the method we'd use a name like
plusAssign().
ADD_ASSIGN (and similar names) is what is in the Java Antlr4 GRAMMAR file:

https://github.com/antlr/grammars-v4/blob/master/java/java8/Java8Lexer.g4#L290-L300

As that grammar gets updated for later Java versions syntax, it is easier
to follow suit (when we want) if we don't have to redo such renames. It is
really only at the "parser edge" that it surfaces. So something we very
rarely deal with and Groovy users should never have to deal with.
