Doesn't seem right, notice:

pragma(ident)   // influence block of declarations
{   declaration;
     declaration;
}

doesn't have ";" after the block. Anyway, the way you say wouldn't be  
consistent with other things, like "extern(C) void foo() {}" doesn't need  
";" after. Plus, would that extra ";" have any significance? seems like it  
would only require extra work in the compiler to enforce. I think  
"pragma(ident) declaration; // influence one declaration" should not  
include the ";" and it was only typed in there by habit and/or to look  
like valid code.
