I also think the present UpperCase or lowerCase case distinction 
should be preserved. 

It is simple and non-intrusive, it prevents accidental 
copying/pasting of rules from lexer to parser/treewalker (as Loring 
pointed out) and, the issue about method naming in the generated 
parsers can be resolved with a rulename-to-methodname transformation 
in ANTLR 3.
