[antlr-interest] paraphrase without lexer

[Silvain Piree]

Ric,

extending Antlr would probably be the best solution (and not that difficult
to implement, although we'd have to agree on the syntax), but ... the
process
of getting changes into the Antlr codebase is very unclear to me, so I
usually create workarounds outside Antlr.

As such, I really like your solution of overriding reportError. Thank you
for that suggestion!
