Hey!  I didn’t say that it was great.  I just showed what I thought was
the rationale behind having ;; in Ruby.  Don't blame me for its
existance.  Anyway, it’s not about saving one character.  It’s about
having the ; have a better counterpart than end in this particular
instance.  I didn’t say that it’s worth having just for this, though.
