[antlr-interest] Incremental Parsing?

[Sohail Somani]

Well my possibly flawed assumption was that the grammar would look
something like this:

// csv parser
startRule: singleRecord*;

...

If you start your parser at startRule then it will exhaust all input
before returning, but if you start it at singleRecord, it should only
care about enough tokens to satisfy the one rule.
