The grammar specifies this correctly, but then again, the example uses the
semicolon. (http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/statement.html#DoStatement)

I think the grammar should be changed...

yop!

This is almost as bad as go's
requirement for if statement opening block to be on the same line...

why? I like Go's syntactuc diffs. (except for its "multi-for")

in Go, this:

if(x)
{
   gosWriteRoutineThatIDontKnowTheSyntaxOf("hello")
}

is equivalent to this in D:

if(x)
{
}

writeln("hello");

This is frankly unforgivable IMO.

Of course it's fixable, but the attitude that "the coder should know better" doesn't really make me comfortable with it. And I hate the "brace on the same line" format (but this of course is not a real argument against it).
