The nice thing about ANTLR is that we can be sure that the grammar is LL(1), 
and it has some nice tools for rapid prototyping.  Sadly, ANTLR doesn't 
generate Scheme.

But it does generate Java.  I'm seriously thinking about adding *real* actions 
in Java to the ANTLR grammar.  That way, we can test that the actions are 
correct.  That way we can test it before translating it by hand into Scheme.  
I'm interested in generating Javascript eventually, but the Javascript 
generator isn't as well documented and there are hints of bugginess.  So let's 
start with Java, and we can switch to Javascript later if appropriate.

Thoughts?
