I compare the two ASTs built by two people for the same language (Java 
1.5), and the
ASTs have some differences. There's no particular reason for the 
differences (it's not like one person
needed the AST to look one way, and the other another way).

Again, my point is that it would be nice to have ANTLR by default build 
a reasonable AST without
any explicit AST-building syntax ("^" and "!") in the grammar.
