Re: can't override toString in coerced Map... some of the time

Seems like this issue is related to coercing any interface as the following
code shows

interface Foo {
  String foo()
}
class Bar {
  String bar() { "Bar!" }
  String toString() { "From Bar" }
}

def concreteFoo = [
  foo: { "Foo!" },
  toString: { "from Proxy" }
] as Foo
def concreteBar = [
  bar: { "Baz!" },
  toString: { "from Proxy" }
] as Bar

println concreteFoo
println concreteBar

------ OUTPUT -------

["foo":Script33$_run_closure1@19d9740,
"toString":Script33$_run_closure2@135128f]
from Proxy

The same would happen to the usual suspects (equals, hashCode). I'm not sure
if this is a design constraint.
