The DRL language provides "declare" (see Section 4.7 in the Expert manual).
Metadata is described in the Fusion manual.

No! See the Java snippet "class Watcher". (If you use declare, you'll have
to do the initializations after creation.)

If there is
a Watcher watching $eventA and with a set of related events $set,
and
a Value less than 1hr later than $eventA and with more alarms than limit and
Watcher's $set does not contain this Value
then...
The line I commented out isn't necessary as I propose to add the very 1st
event tied to the Watcher to this Watcher's list.
