That's a point of discussion.  The functionality of grammar 
inheritance will be provided in some form, but the current approach is 
unloved.  I'd like to see equivalent functionality provided via a 
tree-structured repository (translators/grammars/rules) accessible 
through a browser in an IDE.  The idea is that you should be able to 
import say, a lexer, "expression" and its subrules from a parser 
grammar, and other rules as appropriate when constructing a new 
translator.  A language developer's workbench/IDE (possibly built on 
top of Eclipse) is likely to be a key feature of ANTLR 3 and this 
would be one of the support features.
