[rules-dev] Bug report - a lucky catch if I ever saw one

[Wolfgang Laun]

5.1

rule "lucky"
when
   Putin: X()
then
   modify( Putin ){...}
end

crashes with:
Exception in thread "main" [Error: was expecting type: java.util.Collection;
but found type: null]
[Near : {... ( Putin  ....}]

This is, of course, not due to using exactly *that* name; it occurs if
(1) the bound name matches /^.+in$/ and
(2) there is, in "modify", white space between "in" and ")"
