I'm confused! I always thought that the rule is "a semicolon is inserted

Is this no longer true? What's going on here? Is there an additional
restriction
that there cannot be a line feed between params and arrow, independent of
ASI?
From
`https://people.mozilla.org/~jorendorff/es6-draft.html#sec-grammar-notation`
```
If the phrase “[no LineTerminator here]” appears in the right-hand side of a
production of the syntactic grammar, it indicates that the production is a
restricted production: it may not be used if a LineTerminator occurs in the
input stream at the indicated position. For example, the production:
ThrowStatement :
throw [no LineTerminator here] Expression ;
indicates that the production may not be used if a LineTerminator occurs in
the
script between the throw token and the Expression.
```
Since the arrow function production requires that there is no line
terminator
before the `=>`, then we need to treat it as though there was a semicolon.
`var
fn = (a)\n` would be perfectly valid in ES5, so it's still valid in ES6, but
there's a syntax error if the next statement starts with `=>`.
