Hello all,

I am trying to generate more useful error messages when I get a file that 
doesn't match the grammar. One of the complaints is that because I named my 
tokens, the error messages look like this:
    syntax error detected in file missing_semicolon.test at line number 6, 
position 5; expecting SEMICOLON

To me, this seems obvious, but my customers don't like the token names, they'd 
rather see:
    syntax error detected in file fail_missing_colon.ext at line number 6, 
position 2; expecting ';'

I prefer to have the names, though. Is there an easy way for me to reverse the 
look up so the error can replace SEMICOLON with ';' (as well as all my other 
tokens, of course)?

I can get the NAME of the token with:
        recognizer->state->tokenNames[recognizer->state->exception->expecting]
I can't seem to see how to get the text of that token, though.

Thanks,
-JEEP
Joe Peterson
