It seems to me that this could potentially make the code slower by making the interpreter think it has to parse additional expressions. Depends on how it was designed I think.

I'm currently in the process of writing a build tool that will help you convert your old code to this new convention. Don't worry, help is on the way!

Thank god for the soldiers of the web such as yourself - may the spirit of the semicolon cause your cup of success to overflow.
