It (the default package) works as specified, but the name "default" is 
poorly chosen. It's really anonymous, and as such, its constituent 
classes cannot be referenced in any import statement. Its classes can 
only be seen from other classes in the default (really anonymous) 
package.

But you're right, it's a headache and both the lexer and the parser need 
to be put in a named package to be useful anywhere other than in 
classes in the default (anonymous) package.
