In the parser I'd give you very little chance, since casesensitive is
handled in the lexer. Feedback from parser to lexer is in general a bad idea.

Nothing stops you though to look in the parser at the text belonging to the
start token and bombing out if it's not equal to "start". E.g. have
casesensitive turned off all the time and...

> ruleOne : "start" ruleTwo ;

ruleOne: s:"start" 
{ if ( ! s.getText().equals("start") ) throw ... } ruleTwo

Cheers,
