Thanks!
One nit: The grammar doesn't mention superquoting. It should use
the same rules as for char and string literals, plus the constraint
"except /.;<>[".
I added three negative jtreg tests. See the mlvm patch repo.:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/mlvm/mlvm/langtools/file/tip/quid.patch
(I tested the negative tests by disabling each of the three tested
constraints, and verifying that each negative test unexpectedly
passed in turn.)
I also added customized error messages.
