Tom?? Z?lusk? commented on JBRULES-1226:
----------------------------------------

Since this topic is about generalized binding of variables rather than regular expressions, I would appreciate such a functionality too.
It would be very helpful to write something like this:

when Fact($matcher : Pattern.compile("(a*)b(c*)").matcher(value), eval($matcher.matches()))
then System.out.println(matcher.group(1));

Or may be even sugar:

when Fact($matcher : value matches "(a*)b(c*)") 
then System.out.println(matcher.group(1));
