>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 3.2.1
>            Reporter: Alex

>            Priority: Minor

> I create a JexlEngine as follows:
> new JexlBuilder().cache(512).strict(true).silent(false).safe(false).antish(false).create();
> with these options, I expected that if I evaluate an expression like 'nested.name' and nested is null, that an exception similar to an NPE will be thrown, instead it returns null, the behaviour I would expected if safe were true.  I also noticed that I can put anything like 'foo.name' and it also returns null.  I am including the workaround from JEXL-370.
>  
> I've attached a test class to demonstrate the example. Please let me know if any extra info is needed, and as always, thanks for all the great work on Jexl.
