I spoke in haste... it seems it is not possible to use rule parameters
in syntactic predicates :-(
It seems as though parameters were envisioned as carrying context only
to actions;
the rules themselves (that is, the valid input syntax) is not expected
to be affected by them.
This means I am SOL - my syntax _does_ depend on the value of the parameters.
Is this really the case?
