Hello,
I proposed years ago that we drop this package years ago since it had been
superceded by antlr. At the time, someone was convinced it was a good idea
to keep it and did some work to do so.
If there is a compelling reason to keep it we could try to keep it "limping
along" but I don't feel there is a compelling reason to do so.
Thanks,
Dale
