Suppport for mocking closure like:

mockSomeone.count(invoke(1, 2) {
  it.put(3)

}.returns(3))

I still worry about that the users may be confused by the different means of 
"returns".

Even if they are slightly different context both returns have the same meaning. 
I
think users would instinctively understand this returns when used to the rest 
of the api.

IMO, they have different meanings:

1. If this method is called, THEN return this value
2. While this closure is returned, the result SHOULD be this value

I understand they've got slight different meaning but a normal user would use 
the
returns keyword he keep using everywhere.
1. Method called -> returns value
2. Closure called -> returns value

A more complex example:

def m = mock()
m.unless(
  invoke(3) { // a closure should be passed to unless() as parameter
              // and invoke the closure with parameter "3"
    current().returns(3) // expect current() to be called in the closure
  }.returns(true) // expect the closure to return true
).returns(false)

play {
  assert !m.unless { it == current() }
}
