[antlr-interest] Antlr v4 - C++ target

[A Z]

Hi Gokulakannan,

  I am also converting to C++ but my goal is primarily performance. I don't
intend to use templates.
  As far as tradeoffs, the commontoken struct has a field for everything so
lookup after lexing is fast but at the cost of memory use. I'm
investigating replacing some of these with member functions that only
calculate values when needed or redirect to a different data structure.
