Good question. They correspond to the different paths taken through
the left-hand-side of a rule with "or" CEs. A rule "rule" with one
two-way "or" gives "rule" and rule&1. A three-way or would also
include "rule&2"., etc.
I -could-, and eventually will, make these invisible, but given the
experimental nature of Jess's support for "or" I think it's best to
expose this behaviour for now.
Note that you should never, for example "(undefrule rule&1)". Calling
(undefrule rule) will also remove rule&1, rule&2, etc.
