  1. Separator vs. Terminator

    Thinking about

    begin foo; bar; baz end

    and

    { foo; bar; baz; }

    may shed some (partial) light whether the trailing comma in

    [foo, bar, baz,]

    ought to be considered harmful, or not.

    As a little more food for thought, this does not apply to Lisp’s S-expressions _at all_.
