[antlr-interest] TokenStreamRewriteEngine: possible to use non-terminals instead of tokens?

Hi,

I got the TokenStreamRewriteEngine working so that it just gives back the 
original string of what was parsed... 

Using the java.g grammar, what I would like to do now is delete the type 
specifier from a declaration statement:
"int myInt = 7;" => "myInt = 7;"

This should only be done when the declaration is a statement, and not when it 
is a class field for example...
So it should only apply for the rule:
statement
    :    (declaration)=> declaration SEMI!

However, it seems that the rewriteEngine can only delete a range of tokens. 
SEMI is a token, but "declaration" is not so it seems (I guess its type is 
"void" since that's the return type of the declaration() method?). Still, I 
can't put the replace action where the type token is, because that's in the 
"identifier" rule, which would mean all identifiers would be deleted...

So is there a way I can "navigate" from "declaration" to the typeSpec and then 
to the identifier token in order to remove it?

Thanks in advance,

Hans
