We would have to change a lot of the syntax productions. For example
StructType = "struct" "{" { FieldDecl ";" } "}" .
The rule as stated permits omitting the final ";" when the "}" follows
on the same line (if the "}" is on a different line, the ";" is
inserted automatically anyhow). If we change to your version, we need
to rewrite the StructType production to not have a trailing ";", and
then rely on the new rule to permit adding one.
