[antlr-interest] Access Specifier for lexer's and parsers

[Sam Harwell]

My local build does allow access specifiers on parser rules. The default
visibility is private, so protected/public rules must be marked as such
after the update. Since there are generally very few entry points to a
grammar, you may only have to mark 1 or 2 rules as public. I'll try and
get a public build up by next week. I'm closing an independent contract
right now so time is tight.

Currently there is no way to do so. At least with the Java version of
the tool. Sam Harwell is working a C# port with some extended features,
which allows at least to use access modifiers on rules. Currently there
is only a preview somewhere I can't find the link to - maybe Sam can
help out? Otherwise I hope that things can be ported back to the Java
original.
