It is a known issue that error reporting in ANTLR itself (ie. 
problems in the grammar, not in the generated code) is suboptimal, 
and even entirely useless at times.

This has been previously stated as being due to ANTLR still using 
v2 internally, so it's supposed to get better once it's been 
ported to v3.
