Putting closure

From the documentation, 13.5.5:

When the last parameter of a method is a closure, you can place the closure after the method call

Ok, I tried that, but it didn't exactly work as I was supposed. Consider the following code:

def repostiory_closure = {
    mavenCentral()
}

repositories{ //OK
    mavenCentral()
}

repositories(){ //OK
    mavenCentral()
}

repositories repostiory_closure //OK
repositories() repostiory_closure //compile-time error

So we can put the only a closure literal after a method call, but the variable of a Closure type. Is that right?

What you need to do is put the closure as an argument of the method call like so:

repositories(repostiory_closure)

So because the last argument is a closure the method can be called inline as above.
