Scala (and probably other languages omitting sentence delimiters other than newline while 
allowing free-style formatting) have this problem too: most of the time, omitting 
semi-colons is OK, the compiler is smart about it, but sometime it bites the coder...

Scala see empty lines (after trimming) as sentence delimiter too, so if you want to avoid 
semi-colons at all costs, you just hit Return twice at ambiguous places... Beside, I find 
some empty lines can help readability (natural grouping of related lines).
