[antlr-interest] Syntactic predicates require "k=x" ?

Hi!

I was wondering:

NEWLINE : ("\r\n") => "\r\n" | '\r' | '\n';

Does that syntactic predicate ("\r\n") works if I don't specify k=2 in options?
It seems that it doesn't (it only checks for '\r' which is k=1) but I
can't be sure... help me please...

The FAQ says that I can have infinite lookahead using syntactic
predicates, yet I have to specify k ???? (*confused*)
