[antlr-interest] Quick Question

[Hill, Robert]

Recently revisiting an old parser, and came across this

QUOTE 	(i1:WORD | i2:IDENT) {if (i1==null)
returnString.Append(i2.getText()); else
returnString.Append(i1.getText()); } 

So, is it acceptable (good form?) to replace the above with 

QUOTE 	{returnString = LT(1).getText(); } (WORD | IDENT) 

I can't see any problem with the generated code, other than possibly the
return string not having the correct token on a mismatch which isn't an
issue in this case. I just want to cut down on the clutter.

Or am I missing something ? 
Cheers,

Rob
