   Important

   It is up to the rule template developer to ensure that the templates that they develop do not have issues with name collision. For example, function names, Java method signatures, and facts should have different names even if they are in different templates, because a rule author can create rules based on multiple templates. Names should not be duplicated and it must be communicated to the rules author which templates/versions to use, and in which combination.
