[antlr-interest] v4 "Honey Badger" teaser

[Sam Barnett-Cormack]

Assuming unicode featureset, a proper semantic case insensitivity would 
be lovely - so the unicode properties were used to determine whether 
there was a case-insensitive match. Someone might have a use for other 
unicode matching, though, like base-glyph matching (ignoring diacritics).

No idea if either is practical...
