[antlr-interest] Switching lexers and skipping tokens

[Paul J. Lucas]

	If I have a lexer rule:

		PRAGMA_START
			: "(::" {
				// Push a new Lexer onto the token
				// stream selector.
			  	$setType( Token.SKIP );
			  }
			;

	What I want is to switch to using a different lexer, but I also
	want the "(::" token to be skipped, i.e., be invisible to the
	parser just like a comment would be.

	But when I do the above, it never seems to actually switch to
	using the new lexer since it is matching rules in the main
	lexer.

	Any ideas why it's not switching?  Does the Token.SKIP make a
	difference?  How can I do what I want?

	- Paul
