I think semicolon must be optional, otherwise it would be source of  
"mysterious" errors. Trailing semicolon is optional in many (if not all)  
server-side SQL interfaces and also in JS and CSS.

Of course optional semicolon should be just a syntactic sugar and  
shouldn't allow more than one statement per call.
