[antlr-interest] Failing upon illigal input termination

[Vitaliy]

That's very reasonable.
I just wish it would have been documented anywhere..

Again, IMHO, Antlr is an amazing tool for an open source project, with so much power to it,
I just wish it would have been better documented.

Anyway, Thanks again,
Vitaliy

Because ANTLR doesn't know which rule should be the starting rule. Using
an option to specify this rule falls short for people who need several
rules with EOF. Then again those people may not use such an option anyway.
