FTR, I was referring to the start of the SYNTAX section, where two examples
include semicolons after each closing scope, nowhere is said these are
optional and two times there is explicitly mentioned that semicolons in
certain cases are mandatory.
Reread that paragraph again 3 more times today I agree that there
might be different ways of reading that.
Anyway, thanks for taking care of this, much appreciated.
