Yes, I love this feature. Believe it or not it's one of my major
annoyances with Javascript that it only supports ',' and doesn't
ignore a trailing separator. I write tables in one of two ways - if on
a single line:

   { "one", "two", "three" }

For a longer list spanning multiple lines, or where I'm likely to
add/remove entries:

   {
       "one";
       "two";
       "three";
   }
