[antlr-interest] lookahead using multiple lexers is not possible to simulate in ANTLR?

[Terence Parr]

You might be able to use token streams for this.  There is a 
TokenRetryException that you can throw that makes one of the 
TOkenStream objects retry (after perhaps you've switched lexers).  
Loook at the javadoc parsing examples.
