I think, perhaps, a more descriptive acronym like ANTLR might be worth
it. I know there is an investment in the current domain name, but hey,
if you really want a good name, you have to ignore the sunk-cost fallacy.
So, how about something like Powerful Flexible Textual Templating
Engine, abbreviated to... ummm... PoFTeT? Reminds me a little of MOSFET...
Okay, that one specifically is lame, but you get the idea I'm aiming at
Sam, with many more tuppences available...
