Alternatively, groovy-antlr4 could be a separate jar. If I understand correctly, then we are very confident that the new parser accepts all programs that the old parser accepted, because that is easy to test. But we do not know if it rejects all programs that the old parser rejected, because that is difficult to test. This is no small risk, is it? Users will have to be testers.
