[antlr-interest] antlrworks "NoViableAlt" exception

[Jim Idle]

If the python target is doing that, it is incorrect. I doubt that
though. You should see T31, T32 etc and it won't always be the same.

Consider:

r1 : 'WHILE' ;
WHILE : 'while' ;

Please use ANTLR.markmail.org to find his discussed ad nauseum ;)
