[antlr-interest] Rewriting a list of tokens to a list of custom tokens

Hello ANTLR community,

I want to get

    t+='void' (t+='*')*

to a list of a custom token type, say TYPE. That is, each element/token
of the list should change its original type to the type TYPE.
The following approach does not work because invalid java code is generated:

    t+='void' (t+='*')* -> ^(TYPE[$t]+)

The following implicit list generation works fine, however each element
retains its original type:

    t+='void' (t+='*')* -> ^($t+)

Can anyone tell me, whether and how this could be done?

Thanks in advance,
Christian
