IMO, it's the right thing. An empty command makes no sense. Having an
empty command is a mistake. The interpreter should inform me, if I
make a mistake and not silently ignore it. Maybe the double semicolon
is the result of a bigger mistake. The interpreter surely is not able
to spot any mistake I am able to make (in fact, the opposite is true:
it can spot only a few ones), but when it can, it shall inform me.
Greetings,
