Well, while I, personally, would put a semicolon there (it feels naked

but the semicolon doesn't appear to be required.
For reference for this discussion, the current grammar does not require it:

The C grammar does require it:
do statement while ( expression ) ;
I mistakingly assumed D followed C in that regard. Given the argument
stated in this thread (that absent semicolons require more context to be
absorbed while reading), do you agree that D should make the semicolon
required?
