[antlr-interest] Special Characters in Identifiers

[Matthias Gutheil]

Hello,

I am not yet an expert in writing grammars, until now I only worked with the 
generated AST.

We want to allow * and ? in classnames or methodnames e.g.

class k*
class k?
class hello*orld

Could that work with my own extension with something like:

identifierStarQuestion
     :    IDENT
         ( STAR IDENT )*
         ( QUESTION IDENT  )*
     ;

And in the grammar I will change from identifier to
identifierStarQuestion e.g. after class is recognized.

Cheers
Matthias
