This code compiles with v2.047, but the do-while misses the ending semicolon:

void main() {
    do {
    } while (false)
}


Turning this kind of code into a syntax error makes this syntax more consistent
with the other parts of D syntax and can reduce programmer's confusion (because
the semicolon clearly denotes the end of something instead of a possible start
of a new while loop).
I prefer a language that doesn't need ending semicolons, but in D2 requiring a
semicolon there is better.
