It seems to be optional in 2.5.
I can't say if it is by design. It would be nice to know if leaving out 'of' in chunk expressions is blessed by Revolution. It does make chunks slightly harder to read. The long id returns text with 'of'.
It does seem to be required in built-in functions.
There are some rough edges in syntax. We have discussed the allowing of any text not a top statement at the top level. Some typos do not cause a compiler error, but cause a run-time error. (This is distinct from our intending something but accidently telling the compiler to compile something else, common in repeat.) In some cases it is possible to put two commands on one line without the ';' between.
