Why would I not terminate a declaration with a semi-colon?
Why should a declaration not end in a semi-colon just because the 
last token is a brace?
Why should I not tell the lexer precisely where my declaration 
ends instead of relying on whatever other tokens floating around 
it not interfering?
Why must every thread in this forum contain more posts regarding 
some irrelevant tangent than posts responding to the original 
topic?
