[antlr-interest] What does "syntax error: antlr: org.antlr.runtime.EarlyExitException" mean?

[Brad Cox]

That's strange. Adding output=AST and replacing SomeType with RuleType
(defined, but not at all the right type) eliminated the error. It now
generates code that compiles without errors.

I'd still appreciate comments as to whether I'm on the right track.
