[antlr-interest] Lemon parser. Any comments?

I can't compare ANTLR and lemon, nor can I comment on speed.  I did
poke at lemon a while back, and thought it was better than yacc/bison
because of the difference in how rules are specified.  Also, since
lemon is in the public domain, some folks might be happier with it
than with bison.

The biggest difference is that, as the documents say, "In yacc and
bison, the parser calls the tokenizer. In Lemon, the tokenizer calls
the parser."

Please let us know what you find...
