Yeah, there's no problem; they can provide their own CharStream and all 
is well.

Though, I just started using LinkedHashMap in the analysis engine; 
believe it or not, I'm dumping my own OrderedHashtable in favor of a 
standard java class!  Wow! ;)  Saves code space, but makes antlr itself 
1.4 dependent.  I do like the 1.3 compatibility thing, but...
