JDOQL : Support compilation of ":param.collField.contains()" for (implicit) named parameters

[andyjefferson]

If we want to do something like

SELECT FROM MyClass WHERE :myObj.someField.contains(this.field)

and then try to compile it, we get a message like

This is because the parameter doesn't have a value at the point of compilation, hence you have the equivalent of an NPE but in a query. Need a better way of handling this
