Loring,

Is ANTLR Yggdrasil supported by ANTLRWorks (or rather will it be when
released)?

I'd like to better understand the differences with stock ANTLR again though
my focus is on lexer and parser generation. A couple more questions:

- Is the codegen largely v3.0.x-like? (that would simplify adding C#
support)

- Will ANTLR Yggdrasil support v3.1 features e.g. grammar imports in the
coming release? Ever?
