"Language Recognition Design Patterns"

Still feels punchy, more so than "Language Implementation Design Patterns"

I still think "Language Design Patterns" is misleading, really, as it's 
not really about the languages, it's about recognisers and other 
implementation issues. It's design, in the sense of the design of the 
recogniser.
