[antlr-interest] Bug: String constant is too big in Parser generated by ANTLR v4

[Terence Parr]

 would have made a separate file,But it's just one more thing that can go wrong. Somebody could forget to include it, because it's not a .class file, and you might hook up the wrong file or the wrong version. Better to keep it all in the same file encapsulated. I guess I will simply have to break into multiple streams, which is easy enough. gzip'ing reduces it to about 25% of its original size, which can help your file size in the editor issue.
