It's valid, it just throws a warning.  ISTM not having the semicolon at the end
of DoStatement was a bad design decision - if you stumble upon

    }
    while (whatever)
    {

in the middle of some code, you have to look through possibly screenfuls of
code to determine whether the while applies to the preceding block (and the
following one just opens a new scope for whatever reason) or the following
block.

Meanwhile, the conditions under which "statement is not reachable" is thrown
ought to be changed to exclude empty statements.
