Maybe in the long run we should remove the column/line/filename stuff and
replace it by a user definable class, with according set/get methods. This
would add most flexibility in possiblities to store stuff with the token.

Something like this:

public NoViableAltException( Token t, Parser p ) {
   super("NoViableAlt", p.getFilename(), p.getLine(), p.getColumn());
   token = t;
}

Then if we add options to specify the name of the used NoViableException or
a factory or something like it, then we have all the tools to customize
easily at will.

If I ever get time for a C++ backend TNG then I'll probably go that way,
for a first prototype.

Cheers,

Ric
