Read the getting started articles on the Wiki and if you can buy a copy
of the ANTLR book. You cannot do what you are trying to do like that.
Lexer tokens must be unique and their generation is not controlled by
the parser. Besides which, the general rule is to delay error messages
until as late as possible (so generally not the lexer). In this case,
just accept any number of digits, then check the length of the token
text matches for each side of your 'in' - if not then you can issue a
much more useful error message about type mismatching or something similar.
