Well, it has been a LONG time, but I'm pretty sure that there
is one before the "else". I grew up with Algol that does not
have extraneous semicolons and I always forgot some semicolons
when doing PL/1. The pain is still with me: you know, you submitted
your card deck at 8am and at 5pm you got the listing back where
PL/1 would complain about the missing semicolon.
