[antlr-interest] Generated classes - annotations

[Terence Parr]

  Don't tell anybody I told you this, but you can do this:

@annotatemethod { @SuppressWarnings("all") }

and then alter Java.stg so that it references

<actions.annotatemethod>

right before the method definition. Bob's your uncle, and you have  
annotations.

ANTLR's output template mechanism allows you to name any action you  
want and then reference it from the output templates.
