[antlr-interest] Elsa parser

Have any of you heard of the elsa parser?

What this does is build up a bunch of alternative parses and allows the
developer to choose an alternative when it is appropriate to make a
decision (based on semantics).

Does antlr do something like this? Backtracking kind of does it but you
can still only have one valid parse at any given time. If it doesn't do
this, is there a reason to do or not do it?

Thanks!

Sohail
