Re: minor annoyance

What became of the suggestion below.
Do you plan on doing this ? Otherwise I'll modify the main in SableCC to do
it (it's straightforward, you can even use gnu getopt java package to have
finer option support)

One other small remark:

The constructor in LexerException should be public. I subclass the generated
Lexer to overwrite filter(). My subclass is by choice not in the lexer
package. I want to be able to throw LexerExceptions.

Thanks,

uwe
