Description
Let's say we have the following Fact:
```
{
"firstName": "John",
"lastName" : "doe",
"age" : 26,
"address" : {
"streetAddress": "naist street",
"city" : "Nara",
"postalCode" : "630-0192"
},
"phoneNumbers": [
{
"type" : "iPhone",
"number": "0123-4567-8888"
},
{
"type" : "home",
"number": "0123-4567-8910"
}
]
}
```
The following rule snippet should return true in my understanding:
```
{
fact: 'a',
path: `$..phoneNumbers..title`,
operator: 'doesNotContain',
value: 'SOMETITLE'
},
```
However this will evaluate to false, as "title" is not present in the object.
The actual use case I have is that the dynamic fact ist an array of objects which can be an empty array sometimes (due to input params for the fact).
Supporting this use case would be very valuable, otherwise additional custom operators are necessary.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Reproduce the supplied fact and rule with the missing title and with an empty object array, then trace the JSON path and doesNotContain evaluation; done means the requested optional-property cases return the expected result without requiring a custom operator.
