Thanks for the replies, everyone.

You're correct, Peter, it is not limited to only method calls. I don't
think parameter passing will work, since the enclosed statement block
is not part of the withStatement rule. I (over-?) simplified my
example grammar fragment as an illustration; withStatement and the
stuff inside the With block are all "statements" in higher rules, so
I'd need to pass parameters among large numbers of rules, which is
doesn't seem very maintainable. Isn't this exactly what a scope was
intended for?

Assuming this is an appropriate place to use a scope, how do I get
that withStatement ID value into a scope instead of into a parameter?

Thanks again!
