The command printing code can fail to add a required semicolon when the

This could be obviated by unconditionally outputting a newline instead of a
semicolon.
There's some merit to this; the existing group command printing code
already prints group commands on multiple lines if within a shell function.
I acknowledge that this style isn't to everyone's taste, but to me it feels
more "natural" to the Shell, rather than pretending that one is writing in
some other language; I detest style guides that insist on obscuring ";then"
on the end of a long line.
Everyone has a preference.
