What is ITree? org.antlr.Tree is the interface that must be implemented 
if a tree is to be parseable in an ANTLR tree parser, right?

Well, Tree is not really an exceptionally complex interface to 
implement. If you already have a class or classes that are essentially 
tree-structureed, then you should write an adaptor class that makes 
that tree structure appear to the ANTLR tree parser like its Tree 
interface.

I don't think there's a way to short-cut that task.
