Description

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 182

It can be convenient to use the where block to parameterise ivars in specs. 

It might be feasible to do @Shared and static as well, but I think this is probably
not a good idea as it's going to break parallelism.

Research direction

The issue does not name a source file, test, or entry point. First clarify whether support is intended only for instance variables or also @Shared and static parameters, then trace how where-block parameters are handled and assess the parallelism concern. Done should mean the agreed parameter forms work with tests covering the supported scope.
