[antlr-interest] What about grammar inheritance?

[Silvain Piree]

On the antlr website, the paper "ANTLR 3 Whitepaper" 
mentions "dropping inheritance" as one of the features of 
ANTLR 3.

Will there be an alternative grammar re-use mechanism
in ANTLR 3?

We use grammar inheritance extensively to model differences 
in language dialects (e.g. different Cobol dialects, etc.). This
is a feature I would not like to lose. In fact, it was one of the
reasons for us to go with ANTLR.
