That's an argument against returning the value of the last statement.
It's not an argument about making the last semicolon optional, is it?
Yes, it is an argument against it. It means the semantics can vary
dramatically depending on whether a ; is present or not.
But that's only true when the language, unlike D, has implicit returns, right?
Right. But D (and C, C++) do not have implicit returns, and so this
syntax is not right for them.
Ok, so to summarize, your opinion is:
1. omitting the last semicolon looks like an implicit return
2. implicit returns are too subtle, won't add to D
3. since D has no implicit returns, omitting the last semicolon is not accepted
I disagree about 1, and thus about 3 since it derives from 1. But
that's probably just because of our different background, so I'll leave
it at that.
