Yeah ... I see the problem. There appears to be a bug in the rule evaluator. The findclass function actually matches a class member if it is a substring of the string to match. An example:


class animals {
    "bee"
    "beaver"
}
findclass("beer", animals) returns "bee"
findclass("be", animals) returns empty string
findclass("bumblebee", animals) returns "bee"
findclass("beaverbee", animals) returns "bee"

This bug prevents your solution from working.
