Description
Derived from a comment in antlr/antlr4#36.
A command line option `-superclass` could be added to specify the super class of a generated lexer/parser.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the command-line option handling and the code that generates lexers and parsers; the issue names no files or tests. Determine which generated targets the option must cover and how superclass input should be validated. Done means -superclass selects the superclass for generated lexer/parser output with tests covering the option.
