[antlr-interest] more lexical determinism

[howardckatz]

I can see why I'm getting a lexical nondeterminism error in the 
following, since the lexer has no way of knowing whether "ABCDE" for 
example is a Word or an Identifier, but I can't see how to resolve
the amibiguity, using a predicate or otherwise. What's the easiest 
way to do this?

Thanks,
Howard
