[antlr-interest] parser synpred bug in antlr-03-16-2007.14

[Loring Craymer]

Allen--

As he mentioned earlier, Ter is fixing the error
reporting for this.  However, you still need to
reorganize your code if you are going to use synpreds:

a:
   ('a' 'b') => 'a' 'b';
   | 'a'
   ;

Syntactic predicates impose an ordering of
alternatives.  In your formulation, the synpred is
attached to an "unreachable" alternative.  Better
still would be to define

a:
    'a' ('b')?
    ;

(left factoring).
