[antlr-interest] Reuse rule-return "shortcuts"

Hey,
I try to reuse abbreviations for return values in rules like this:
expression: op=unaryOp e1=expression | op=binaryOp e1=expression
e2=expression;
It seems like Antlr(3.0.1) can't handle this correctly, as it does not
suffix the "op" with a unique id. So "op" gets only declared once. In
generated code for the the second alternative, the assignment is
completely missing.
Strangely a few minutes ago I got a warning "redefiniton of rule
attribute with incompatible type" (or so). That warning now doesn't
appear anymore, instead this silent bogus.
I'd like to be able to reuse these names (how are they called actually?)
in different alternatives even if their types are different. Antlr
would have to append unique id in the generated code then.
Thanks for comments.
Felix
