Edson Tirelli updated JBRULES-1226:
-----------------------------------

          Component/s: drools-compiler
                       drools-core
        Fix Version/s: 5.1.0.M1
    Affects Version/s: 5.0.1.FINAL
                           (was: 4.0.1)
             Assignee: Edson Tirelli  (was: Mark Proctor)


Had another request for this today.

>From the IRC log:

<etirelli> basically it is necessary to allow constraints to return values and then allow the compiler to bind such values to variables
<etirelli> also, we need to find a nice syntax for that, because as it is now:
<etirelli> $var : name matches "xyz"
<etirelli> $var would be bound to "name", not the result of the match
