[antlr-interest] v4 feature request: array of mode names in lexer object

When debugging, it would be useful to have actual mode names
displayed, rather than just numbers.

Similar to how you can do this with tokens:

	lexer.tokenNames[token.getType()]

I'd like to be able to do:

	lexer.modeNames[lexer.mode]


( At the moment I've got my own manually created array, but it'd be
much nicer to have something that didn't keep needing updates when
modes are added or re-ordered. )


Thanks. :)
