Thanks for your input, Kai. I would think this would
be another place where it would make sense for ANTLR
to provide a hook to these types of calculations,
which could then be leveraged by an Ant task. I am
not sure how trivial this would be, however; it might
become rather onerous given a large number of input
files. The ongoing file naming convention talks might
bear fruit that would simplify such work...
