Description

Currently JEXL is very tolerant with null (and unresolved variables)...
I am unsure now but I think null will become false if the output of a test, null will become the empty
string if concatenated to a string, null will become the number zero when added. Moreover,
invoking a method on null gives you... null...

I would love a switch that just disables all this (I think this would impact quite a lot) allowing my jexl
snippets to be quite more predictable!
