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...
