<p>I haven't really looked over the code (existing or your changes), but couldn't it lookup the tag for the type of the left hand side, and use that as a the scope, rather than assuming the LHS <em>is</em> the scope? Like if the LHS was a function call, it would use the return type or if it was an instance, it would use the type of its declaration.</p>
