I'd really like it if PHP switched to Perl's grammar rule where semicolon is a statement separator rather than a terminator. It already does this in a fashion within <?php ?> tags in that statements in those don't have to end with a semicolon. I think it just blindly inserts a semicolon, but that does work -- if PHP did that whenever it saw a `}` token, it should have the same effect.
