Can't argue with that.  ;-)

Not unless you plan to develop an alternative V2 runtime lib and codegen.

ANTLR v3 is still in development and codegen infrastructure is still
changing. Most codegen would be necessarily very similar until the basic
interfaces settle I think.

We hope to include something with the next EA. Current C# code hasn't been
updated for the latest round of commits related to changes for tree
building/debugging etc iirc.
