In java mode there's the _tokenNames array in the generated parser. (should
list both lexer and parser tokens) In C++ mode there's some API calls for
it.

Keep a map or vector of strings indexed by the token number (as returned by
getType() ?

Not sure what you mean here. You can do some evil trickery with the
TokenTypes.txt files and importVocab however.
