that makes sense.
But there's a reason why I'm not gonna do it like this with the current 
grammar: I'm not writing a new grammar, but adapting an existing one 
(actually the ada grammar from Oliver Kellogg). I try to change as few as 
possible and I'm surely not gonna do funky modifications, at least not until 
I'm no antlr newbie anymore ;)

Thanks for all your answers and good night
