[antlr-interest] Replacing the token type

[Terence Parr]

Hi Han! Nice to see you're stilling using ANTLR. :)  Try overriding  
Lexer method:

	/** The standard method called to automatically emit a token at the
	 *  outermost lexical rule.  The token object should point into the
	 *  char buffer start..stop.  If there is a text override in 'text',
	 *  use that to set the token's text.  Override this method to emit
	 *  custom Token objects.
	 */
	public Token emit() {
		Token t = new CommonToken(input, type, channel,  
tokenStartCharIndex, getCharIndex()-1);
		t.setLine(tokenStartLine);
		t.setText(text);
		t.setCharPositionInLine(tokenStartCharPositionInLine);
		emit(t);
		return t;
	}
