This was written before there was a Rete.definstance() method; when
definstances were first added, they were optional because they
required the JDK 1.1 APIs, and the rest of Jess would still work with
JDK 1.0 without them. Rete.definstance() was added later.

This is a little more efficient, and of course, more concise. In
general, if there's a method like Rete.definstance(), or Rete.run(),
it's better to use it directly than to build a Funcall or call
executeCommand(). Almost always if there's a Rete.xxx() method and
an (xxx) function in Jess, then (xxx) is implemented by calling
xxx().
