[sc34wg3] TMQL: Predicate invocation and scope

If I understood it correctly, no association is returned, but a tuple
of role-players ($p, $g), so your solution wouldn't work. $a would be
bound to all possible $p / $g pairs and the user cannot filter that
tuple for scope or the reifier.

Best regards,
Lars
