I'm amazed at how this particular thread has exploded.
My $0.02: I've yet to see any arguments that I consider compelling to
support the "always require camp". I expect direct textual substitution
from a macro -- if it's expanding into a single statement, it ought to be
expanding to a series of characters that includes the semicolon signalling
the end of that statement. Other possibilities would only cause
confusion. I'm firmly in the "never require a user to append a semicolon
to a macro themself" camp.
