@Peter: Thank you for creating and fixing UIMA-5423.
If we switch to null as default value: what happens if we use the variable
without explicit initialization?
Example:
STRING name, fullname;
Name {-> MATCHEDTEXT(name, 1),
ASSIGN(fullname, fullname + " " + name), // append string and space to
"fullname" without initialization.
...}
In general using fullname without initialization can be considered as bad
style. But I'm afraid, that many users writes similar code.

Betreff: Re: Variables in Ruta scripts are not initialized properly by
RutaEngine if their script is called by others
btw, the intial value "" (empty string) of string variables has historical
reasons. Maybe we should switch it to null?
