I'm fed up with semi-colons too. Way back in the late 1960's BCPL
compilers were putting in semi-colons for you. The rules were simple,
and if you blindly left semi-colons out and formatted your text in a
funny way, you would sometimes get errors.

I have a modula pre-processor in the works which will do simple macro
expansion (like C), include processing, and semi-colon insertion. If
I ever get it done, I'll post it, since it really is very small (so far).
