That's an argument against returning the value of the last

optional, is it?
Yes, it is an argument against it. It means the semantics can vary
dramatically depending on whether a ; is present or not.
But that's only true when the language, unlike D, has implicit
returns, right?
Right. But D (and C, C++) do not have implicit returns, and so this
syntax is not right for them.
Ok, so to summarize, your opinion is:
1. omitting the last semicolon looks like an implicit return
2. implicit returns are too subtle, won't add to D
3. since D has no implicit returns, omitting the last semicolon is not
accepted
I disagree about 1, and thus about 3 since it derives from 1. But that's
probably just because of our different background, so I'll leave it at
that.
I guess D isn't created with delegate literals in mind as one of the
most important features, like Ruby or Scala.
