.exists() creates invalid Firebase rules

The following Bolt rules:

path /some/$path {
  validate() = root.items[$path].exists();
}

output the following invalid Firebase rules:

{
  "rules": {
    "some": {
      "$path": {
        ".validate": "newData.parent().parent().child('items').child($path).child('exists')()"
      }
    }
  }
}

Don’t use child() in Bolt.

root,profiles[uid] != null

Is what you want.
