Description

Consider the following:

void meth(Closure closure) {
  closure.|
}

When invoking content assist (Ctrl+Space) at |, the methods and properties of groovy.lang.Closure are very low in the list of proposals. This is due to very-well-known type adjustments made within org.codehaus.groovy.eclipse.codeassist.proposals.AbstractGroovyProposal.getRelevanceClass().

Research direction

Start in org.codehaus.groovy.eclipse.codeassist.proposals.AbstractGroovyProposal.getRelevanceClass(), using the Closure example in the issue to reproduce the content-assist ordering. Confirm that methods and properties from groovy.lang.Closure are no longer given reduced relevance when the expression type is Closure; the issue provides no test file to run.
