Yikes! I think you just discovered a bug in the pascal language itself
that was not thought of... as when using a text editor it's easy to leave
a semi colon laying around by accident some times.

I wonder if Oberon solves this issue, or semi-colon-less languages have
any advantage.  If you remove the begin from a language (Wirth did in his
later languages) you get rid of some issues.
