[antlr-interest] Bug: String constant is too big in Parser generated by ANTLR v4

[Christian]

It's a combined grammar of the complete Spec C# v4. The parser's string
constant extends to 2000 LOC, the lexer's to 1000 LOC. Moreover, it
would be great if you could extract the constant into another class so
that loading and displaying the parser file with an editor (e.g.
Eclipse) does not take so long.
