These rules should be marked as fragments, since you're consuming 
them from other lexer rules and not expecting to receive them in 
the parser.

The general rule of thumb is that you should never define two 
non-fragment lexer rules that can consume the same input, and try 
to avoid doing so when they consume the same common left 
prefix.  (Even in the cases where you can get away with having a 
common left prefix, it reduces performance to do so.)
