[antlr-interest] Multiplexed lexers and stream insertion problem

[Torkild Ulvøy Resheim]

I'm doing a project where I have several lexers and parsers, switching between 
these depending on the context. One of these lexers reads a macro definition, 
ignores the content, just storing it into a hashtable. The code can be 
something like this:

#COMMAND macro
  // Something interesting is supposed to happen here
#ENDCOMMAND

So when the main parser sees "macro" it inserts the contents of the macro into 
a new lexer (same class as the main lexer) using a StringReader and treats it 
like any other code. The problem occurs when the lexer is done with the macro 
contents. I'm getting an EOF and can't get back to the original lexer.

Any ideas?
