I'm the copyright holder. I've no problems if you put the code under the same
license as sablecc in general or whatever (open source) license you choose.

Oh, OK ;O). I'm not quite sure cause if it really was necessary to
change the type of the attribute from LinkedList to TypedLinkedList.
The original change was made quite a while ago. Now I only put the changes
into the macros. I guess the reason was that java used the wrong serialization
method if the attribute was of type LinkedList. I'll try to check and tell you.

The change in the toString method of class Node was needed because we're using it
to determine the name of the token. For this we can't have any whitespaces coming with
the return value.

Cheers,
