Greetings,

This is a continuation for my queries into using ANTLY for code 
genration.

Can I reason about the grammar ANTLR has read in ... much like 
reflection allows me to resaon or inspect methods, classes etc ?

Would such a functionality be useful ?

Would such a functionaly be useful as part of a language runtime. 
e.g. Would you want there to be a standard api in java that allows 
the runtime code to inspect itself at the syntactic level ... for 
loops etc. ?

Arman.
