It is different. I almost never end up typing a C in position 6. Because
it's always in the same place, I can copy/repeat an existing line, or leave
it up to the editor to put it in for me. The semicolon is something that
we're going to have to be consciously aware of at all times.

I hope you're just trying to be funny. :)  The whole point is that we really
don't need either, so we shouldn't  have to worry about it at all.
