You inevitably forget to go back and append the ; to the previous line.
Current DMD compiler version outputs on attempt to make empty statement:
use '{ }' for an empty statement, not a ';'
Is there a reason?
Yes, this:
if(x == 5 || x == 6);

Typing a semi-colon is so automatic, that we will accidentally put one

rare cases where people can easily type valid code that does not do what
they want.
