   That's not quite true. ANTLR is LL(*), meaning it can have an   
   infinitive lookahead similar to LR parsers. This is done via   
   generating DFAs for those situations. "The Definitive ANTLR Reference"   
   contains an in-depth explanation of this technique and is recommend if   
   you stay with ANTLR.
