Well, it would break all the code of people who like to
write code that way. They might get a bit miffed if we
decide that their code is not serious. :-)

On the other hand, if they really want to, they will still
be able to abuse semicolons by doing this sort of thing:

a = 5; pass
b = 7; pass
c = a * b; pass

Then everyone will know it's some really serious code!
