I had looked at both antlr and jlex/cup when i was first doing formulas.
The most effort in POI formulas turned out to be converting the parse
tree into the PTG array (it certainly isnt one to one) and back, rather
than the actual parse, which is really a small part of the problem i
think. Therefore, i had decided that using a parser generator would be a
bit of an overkill, and gave up on that aproach, even tho i had started
out writing grammar. 

That said, it'll be interesting to see another aproach.
