[antlr-interest] Switching lexer rules on/off from parser

This "be careful" should be taken very seriously. If you are using C++
code generation you will definetly run into problems as the current
implementation always looks one token ahead of the parser. I once wrote
a mail and a small patch to the list but Ric apparently didn't have the
time to look into that. If you run into the problem I can give you that
patch.
