[antlr-interest] Handling Lots of Keywords?

[dotlessbraille]

I am trying to analyze braille texts using the current US standard 
representation for braille math.  Braille uses 63 characters (and 
the space). It is typically represented electronically with the 63 
ASCII codes corresponding to the small (xor capital) letters and all 
but 5 of the special characters so the input is well-defined.

If the tokenization is treated as a lexical problem, there is the 
unusual feature that there are more than 1000 keywords, some with 
more than a dozen characters.  (The keywords are mainly used to 
represent mathematical symbols by a notation more intuitive than 
Unicode character codes.)

If any of you have ever dealt with this number of keywords, I'd be 
grateful for advice.   

Thanks,
Susan
