The SunPro 5.9 compiler doesn't like it either.  Does anybody have a comment on the
use of C++ keywords as symbols in the C target?  I realize it's the C, not C++, target,
but as the latter seems not really functional yet, using the C target via the is the
obvious workaround. This would be much facilitated if the headers could be included
in a C++ program as 'extern "C"'.  I would appreciate a hint on how much work renaming
this symbol requires.  I found it in antlr3bitset.{h,c}, but it must be used somewhere
else and grepping for "or" is not so illuminating.

Thank you
Rupert
