I guess I've always spoken my mind in favour of a clean syntax, even
if it means a little extra typing. I dislike expressions with internal
bindings; the traditional binding at the start of an expression is
sufficient.

Wolfgang,
Thank you for reporting. Mario is fixing it.
On a related note, for Drools 5, for backward compatibility, we still
allowed bindings in the middle of expressions. We were discussing if this
should be disallowed from Drools 6 forward? Things like:
Person( $name : name == "Bob" || $alive : isAlive && ($age : age >
40 ) )
Things get quite complicated and a bit hard to read as expressions get
more complex. It also clashes with the ternary operator ?:.
Any thoughts on retaining support for this kind of syntax or removing
it?
