PLEASE READ CAREFULLY, AND UNTIL THE END.

These two files (foo/Foo.java, foo/foo.drl) are sufficient to
reproduce the bug, i.e., a diagnostic
Exception in thread "main" [Error: could not access field: named.NamedEntity.x]
[Near : {... x == 1 ....}]
^
followed by a hefty stack dump due to an insert of a Foo.

package foo;
/*** not public ***/ class Foo {
private int x = 1;
public int getX(){ return x; }
}

package foo;
rule "foo getX"
when
Foo( x == 1 )
then
System.out.println( "some Foo.x == 1" );
end

But note that the problem goes a little deeper. Remove the constraint,
and the rule fires:

rule "some Foo"
when
$foo: Foo()
then
System.out.println( "some Foo..." ); // works perfectly
end

But now try to print the matched Foo:

rule "show all Foo factss"
when
$foo: Foo()
then
System.out.println( "Foo: " + $foo );
end

Another dump:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalAccessError: tried to

I DO understand why this happens (so please DON'T explain it to me).

HOWEVER, IF PACKAGE VISIBILITY CANNOT BE HANDLED (and I don't think it
can), IT SHOULD BE REFUTED WITH A PROPER DIAGNOSTIC.
