Custom annotations do not support numeric values

[murdos]

Overview of the issue

Parse error while using custom binary annotation in JDL with numeric parameter:

 SyntaxError: Error: MismatchedTokenException: Expecting token of type --> NAME <-- but found --> '2' <--

Motivation for or Use Case

Sometimes you need numeric parameters, e.g. an order. It's not even possible to use '2' instead of 2 as a workaround.

Reproduce the error

Modified entity A from annotations.jdl test case, replacing value2 by 2 and also (another test case) value3 by '3'

@service(serviceClass)
@dto(mapstruct)
@skipClient
@myCustomUnaryOption
@myCustomBinaryOption(customValue)
@myCustomBinaryOption(customValue)
entity A {
  @id @multiValue(value1) @multiValue(2) @multiValue('3') name String
  noAnnotation String
}
