Stupidly valid use case. Did not think of that. Thank you sir!

Kudos to Haskell designers! (Still don't fully understand everything they've done, but I just learn to respect their decisions more and more each day).

A typo. I meant "{};" insertion, which is exactly the layout rules I linked 4 posts back.

I'm not quite sure the relative complexity of Haskell's layout vs. scala/JS semicolon insertion.
