You were one of the creators of these unrealistic and atypical use
cases. You should propose better use cases, then I'll update the list.

Exactly. That's the reason why I do not want a semicolon. Why should I
type a semicolon everywhere if this is not necessary? Several, modern
languages live without semicolons because they are simply not
necessary.
