[antlr-interest] return result of a rule reference directly

Hi,

I was wondering is it possible to return the result of a rule
reference directly (without instantiating a variable).

>From the manual I have the following code:

yellow_rule
returns[string name]
{string name ="";}
    name=identifier {}
;

I would like to be able to skip the instantiation of 'name' so that
when identifier matches, yellow_rule simply returns what was returned
by the identifier rule. Does anyone know a way that this is possible?

Many thanks,

Hugo Leeney
