public static java.lang.Object invoke(java.lang.Object callable,
                      java.lang.Object... args)

Deprecated. since 0.7.0 ; this super-loose typing should be avoided; if it is needed, let's move it to one of the Groovy compatibility classes

Attempts to run/call the given object, with the given arguments if possible, preserving the return value if there is one (null otherwise); throws exception if the callable is a non-null object which cannot be invoked (not a callable or runnable)
