(We could also adopt a house style of leaving it in where the value
is
ignored, and taking it out where the value is used; but if we did that
we might as well not change the syntax. ;-)
I like the idea of having the trailing semicolon be our house style,
except in the case of one-liners. I could rig up the pretty-printer to
do that.
Ultimately I think this comes down to the fact that we're bridging two
worlds: we're trying to cater to the functional programming world, which
is used to semicolon as a statement separator, and the C/C++ world,
which is used to putting a semicolon at the end of every block.
