[antlr-interest] Scopes in lexers don't work

[Terence Parr]

Guys, just a warning, I never really intended scopes to work in the  
lexer, though thanks to the nature of antlr's codegen, it worked with  
a tiny tweak.

Later, we might do scannerless parsing so we might want scopes in  
lexer.  For now, assume it's unsupported "feature".  Other targets  
are not required to support.
