/** Grammars, rules, and alternatives all have symbols visible to

 *  Alternative level:
 *
 *  $x		Attribute: rule arguments, return values, predefined rule prop.
 * 			AttributeDict: references to tokens and token labels in the
 * 			current alt (including any elements within subrules contained
 * 			in that outermost alt). x can be rule with scope or a global scope.
 * 			List label: x is a token/rule list label.
 *  $x.y	Attribute: x is surrounding rule, rule/token/label ref
 *  $s::y	Attribute: s is any rule with scope or global scope; y is prop within

 *  Rule level:

 *  $x		Attribute: rule arguments, return values, predefined rule prop.
