In fact, I'll go out on a limb here. If we did *not* auto-insert the semicolons, and instead issued an error where a '}' or a ';' *would* have been inserted, most control freaks would (a) grumble that the compiler shouldn't enforce indentation, but (b) agree that the indentation being enforced was sound and was in compliance with their local coding policies. What this suggests to me is that the problem is less in having the auto-insertion policy than it is in packaging the error messages incorrectly. :-)
