Hi!

We had a discussion about this over on antlr-dev a while ago. Please  
see my reply at
<http://antlr.org/pipermail/antlr-dev/2006-November/000729.html>  
for the gist
of it.

Ric has agreed that it doesn't appear to be a problem, just as Sohail  
said.
I don't think this will need to be changed.

cheers,
