D has ";" as the empty statement. In fact I think it's an empty
declaration because it can appear at top level.

When is it any good? The only place I can think of is after a label

blah: ;

But then you can always say

blah: {}

which is arguably less puzzling. Any other places?

Andrei

for (; cond; inc) { ... }

for({} false; 42) {}

or as the result of a string mixin?
