   The language is not LL(1), left factoring can not remove all the   
   conflicts.  You need extended look ahead and/or predication and   
   backtracking to parse the language in LL.   
      
   LL(k>1) tools such as Antlr and JavaCC can handle this problem in the   
   natural way, as can any of the LR tools.
