I think that's a V2-ism. In ANTLR v2 you had to explicitly call
newline() whenever you recognised a character or sequence that you
wanted to consider as an end-of-line, and it used that to update
its internal line and column tracking. So if you removed those
calls then it would report everything as being on one long line.
In V3 it handles all that internally, so there's nothing for you
to remove (unless you start hacking apart the ANTLR code itself).
