RE: Is this the Free-Format that we asked for?

Richard,


Could you explain why you believe that the semi-colon is needed?

I've never written a compiler, so I don't understand why it's necessary. I
do know that there is at least 10 years of prior art in designing
free-format compilers without end of line terminators. This should not
exactly be black magic anymore.
