I see your point now -- since essentially you would like to store part 
of the rule definition in some external storage, a rule would actually 
become a kind of a skeleton/template which evaluates to a different rule 
definition at each event match. I have to admit I haven't thought about 
such feature before, and I think it hasn't been discussed before in the 
mailing list either.
