[antlr-interest] retrieving the length of a production match

[Jim Idle]

Maybe you did, or maybe I did ;-) But the general point is that if you have a token, it will tell you where it starts in the input stream, so if you have discovered something semantically rather than syntactically (this is what I thought was being asked), then knowing the tokens will allow you to determine the run length for things you want to underline in green or whatever. :-)
