GroovyShell.initializeBinding() appears to be unused

Anywhere this public is called?  Seems like it is unused, should be  
deprecated and removed eventually.

Isn't groovy.lang.groovy.lang#initializeBinding() a public method on groovy's public API? How do we know that it is unused in the whole wild world?

Is initializeBinding() some magic method?

Means is there some reflection magic calling it? I could not find anything.  Looks like this is just unused code.   And if used elsewhere should stop using it.

is public groovy API meant only for groovy internal consumption, that you can do a search and decide whether it is unused?

It may be useless (in what it does and for that reason you can deprecate it) but not used - at least you have no way to know.

correcting a typo.

It may be useless (in what it does and for that reason you can deprecate it) but not **unused** - at least you have no way to know.
