Great to see Parrot is still alive!!

Your idea is *great*. But as soon as I implemented it in my code, the
Java generated code from AntLR3 gave me an error saying that
specialStateTransition exceeds the Java limit of 64Kb :( It seems to be
a Java limitation. I've wrote to the mailling list about this issue, and
I hope someone has a solution :)

Anyway, THANK YOU for your code!
