* The interface for defining strategies to deal with syntax errors encountered

* different kinds of errors:
*
* o The parser could not figure out which path to take in the ATN
* (none of the available alternatives could possibly match)
* o The current input does not match what we were looking for.
* o A predicate evaluated to false.
*
* The default implementation of this interface reports errors to any
* error listeners of the parser. It also handles single token insertion
* and deletion for mismatched elements.
*
* We pass in the parser to each function so that the same strategy
* can be shared between multiple parsers running at the same time.
* This is just for flexibility, not that we need it for the default system.
