In the RHS of a rule, is there a way to get the rule name?

Write a JessListener class which watches for DEFRULE_FIRED events. The
event will arrive just before the RHS of the rule executes. Call
getObject() on the JessEvent. It'll be a jess.Activation objects. The
name of the rule will be in Activation.getRule().getName(). Call
Rete.store("RULE", theName). Then on a rule's RHS you can (fetch RULE)
to get the name.

Can I request a new feature? It would be nice if there were a built-in function like (rule) or (this) or (self) that would return the rule object when you evaluate it on the RHS of a rule.
