 * Version 1.00 December 9, 1997 -- initial release
 * Version 1.01 December 10, 1997
 *		fixed bug in octal def (0..7 not 0..8)
 * Version 1.10 August 1998 (parrt)
 *		added tree construction
 *		fixed definition of WS,comments for mac,pc,unix newlines
 *		added unary plus
 * Version 1.11 (Nov 20, 1998)
 *		Added "shutup" option to turn off last ambig warning.
 *		Fixed inner class def to allow named class defs as statements
 *		synchronized requires compound not simple statement
 *		add [] after builtInType DOT class in primaryExpression
 *		"const" is reserved but not valid..removed from modifiers
 * Version 1.12 (Feb 2, 1999)
 *		Changed LITERAL_xxx to xxx in tree grammar.
 *		Updated java.g to use tokens {...} now for 2.6.0 (new feature).
 *
 * Version 1.13 (Apr 23, 1999)
 *		Didn't have (stat)? for else clause in tree parser.
 *		Didn't gen ASTs for interface extends.  Updated tree parser too.
 *		Updated to 2.6.0.
 * Version 1.14 (Jun 20, 1999)
 *		Allowed final/abstract on local classes.
 *		Removed local interfaces from methods
 *		Put instanceof precedence where it belongs...in relationalExpr
 *			It also had expr not type as arg; fixed it.
 *		Missing ! on SEMI in classBlock
 *		fixed: (expr) + "string" was parsed incorrectly (+ as unary plus).
 *		fixed: didn't like Object[].class in parser or tree parser
 * Version 1.15 (Jun 26, 1999)
 *		Screwed up rule with instanceof in it. :(  Fixed.
 *		Tree parser didn't like (expr).something; fixed.
 *		Allowed multiple inheritance in tree grammar. oops.
 * Version 1.16 (August 22, 1999)
 *		Extending an interface built a wacky tree: had extra EXTENDS.
 *		Tree grammar didn't allow multiple superinterfaces.
 *		Tree grammar didn't allow empty var initializer: {}
 * Version 1.17 (October 12, 1999)
 *		ESC lexer rule allowed 399 max not 377 max.
 *		java.tree.g didn't handle the expression of synchronized
 *			statements.
 *
 * BUG:
 * 		Doesn't like boolean.class!
 *
 * class Test {
 *   public static void main( String args[] ) {
 *     if (boolean.class.equals(boolean.class)) {
 *       System.out.println("works");
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 *
 * This grammar is in the PUBLIC DOMAIN
