I see. This is the only one point i assume, was the wrong design
decision: Omit the explicit statement delimitter ";"

I like the clean and simple syntax and i am with you being cautious
implementing new more specialized language features. But requiring
a explicit command delimiter ";" would open the possibility to
implement some tiny and useful syntax extensions. We need to update
existing sources, but this should be easy to do. And the readability of
sources becomes better and easier to understand. And.. and .. and... :)
