      Description copied from class: SemanticContext
      For context independent predicates, we evaluate them without a local context (i.e., null context). That way, we can evaluate them without having to create proper rule-specific context during prediction (as opposed to the parser, which creates them naturally). In a practical sense, this avoids a cast exception from RuleContext to myruleContext.

      For context dependent predicates, we must pass in a local context so that references such as $arg evaluate properly as _localctx.arg. We only capture context dependent predicates in the context in which we begin prediction, so we passed in the outer context here in case of context dependent predicate evaluation.
