[antlr-interest] we need a name for a new rewriting tool

Sorry for having been off-list for some time, but may
I strongly anti-suggest the unadorned word Morph? 
Disregarding the "ANTLR" namespace, this is a direct
clash with http://morph.sourceforge.net, a great Java
project with which I am pleased to be associated. 
Morph is fairly low-profile at present, but there have
been rumblings about its being brought to the Apache
Commons, which would significantly raise said profile.
 Such a naming conflict might harm both projects IMO.

Regards,
Matt
