It is unlikely that the original intent was to expose getters such as `getBUILT_BY_PROPERTY()`, so change those properties to public fields, for the benefit of a clearer API, and more idiomatic integration with statically compiled languages. https://docs.groovy-lang.org/docs/groovy-3.0.13/html/documentation/#_fields_and_properties That change is source-compatible with existing dynamically compiled Groovy, but breaks compatibility with any statically compiled language (including Groovy with @CompileStatic): as the getters are removed, they now need to refer to the newly exposed fields.
