[antlr-interest] Fragment for Parserrules

[Alexander Gängel]

Here is a small Grammar to show my Problem:

    grammar small;
    start    :(Identifier |    '->' keyword    )+;
    keyword:'test'|'test2';
    Identifier:('a'..'z'|'A'..'Z'|'_') (Letter)*;
    fragment
    Letter    :'a'..'z'|'A'..'Z'|'0'..'9'|'_'|'$';
    WS    :(' '|'\r'|'\t'|'\u000C'|'\n') {$channel=HIDDEN;};

for this Grammar input like this is true:

word word -> test word -> test2

but I would like that if the Input is just test it would also be true
but then be identified as an Identifier not a keyword.

ok in this example I could put my keyword also into the start rule but
in actual grammar I'm working on I would use it with a lot of keyword
(about 20) inside  a Syntactic Predicates so I would prefer to make the
rule keyword a fragment so it#s just recognized inside the start rule
when a -> is found.

Ok I hope you now understand what I want.

maybe there is a better way to do such a thing with Antlr I just don't
know about it.
