That's valid, but is it "correct form"? The semicolon at the end is not
needed. I'd say it's a bad idea to use one, because it might give a
mistaken impression about the meaning of something like
a = 1
+ 2;
It's better to avoid semi-colons whenever possible, to make sure the C
parser in your brain throws an exception and lets the R parser take over.
