Howdy, added a bunch of stuff on the evaluation of sem preds in the
lexer for ANTLR v3:

Highlights a tough problem in terms of what predicates mean; ANTLR
only uses predicates when it has insufficient syntactic information.
The evaluation of predicates seems to conflict with matching the
longest string.
