Does that mean there may still be constructs which take a block, as their last argument, but which don't require a semicolon if they can be written as one-liners? How terribly unpopular would it be if the "when do I need to use a semicolon" question was simply answered: is block-ending construct's final curly on a line by itself ? 0 : 1 And can we assume that "on a line by itself" ignores non-$/ whitespace?
