[antlr-interest] Changing types and text in the parser ...

[Mark Lentczner]

Here's a concrete example.  It avoids your worries about parenthesis 
and Ric's worry about when the tree is built by using extra rules.  I 
do this sort of thing in with types in my grammar for the same reason: 
I want the AST to be very regular.

gotost: GOTO^ gotodest ;

gotodest: (INT | IDENT) (COLON!)?
	{ ##.setType(IDENT); ##.setText(##.getText()+":"); }
	;

If you're generating C++, then the "##." will need to be "##->".
