[antlr-interest] just added $FIRST(rule) and $FOLLOW(rule)

[Terence Parr]

Folks,

Extending Ric's work, I have made $FIRST and $FOLLOW computations 
available to actions and exception actions.  If you omit the arg it 
assumes current rule.  Note that this returns the name of a bitset you 
can use to test or pass to consumeUntil().

a : A {$FIRST(a); $FIRST} B
   exception
     catch [MyExc e] {
         foo = $FOLLOW(a);
         consumeUntil($FIRST(c));
     }
;

You can use for a variety of things:

if ( $FIRST(a).member(LBRACK) ) {...}

Ter
PS	Ric, note that I've moved the computation into the two action.g 
files (moving from code generators; cleaner).
