[antlr-interest] switching lexer while parsing

No.  You can't switch the lexer while parsing.  You have to figure out how
to handle it in the lexer or parser alone.

Hi!

can I switch lexer depending upon the context? I have a problem 
where in one mode a/b is to be treated as ID DIVIDE ID whereas in 
another place it must be treated as mere ID. I was thinking or 
having something that will switch the lexer while parsing depending 
upon the context.

Is it possible?

Thanks,
Sanjiv
