[antlr-interest] symbol table in antlr

[Bryan Ewbank]

There's no built in symbol table available; ANTLR provides a mechanism
for defining your lex/parse/transform pipeline.  It is your
application code that will have to manage a symbol table (push, pop,
find) as defined by the semantics of your input language.

Without making it sounds trite, the way to incorporate symbol tables
is to write them.

I see you're at redhat; are you by chance located in RTP?  It's a long
shot, I know, but I'm curious if there's other ANTLRites around here.
