Usage of semicolon in traits definitions is inconsistent

[thomas001]

In the definitions of struct and enum types the comma is used as separator between struct/enum members. In the definition of traits the semicolon is used instead. I think this syntax is inconsistent and should be changed to allow comma as separator for traits as well.

An intuitive explanation might be, that you enumerate things when using a comma, like struct members or even function arguments. The definition of a trait is also an enumeration of methods.

IMO there is no need to use the C++ish syntax here (but maybe there are parsing pitfalls which enforce the semicolon here).

This is bikesheddy, but I do think it might be a net win in consistency. In any case there's not much to argue over here, so an executive fiat would be nice.

@graydon Can you step in here and be syntax dictator?

[graydon]

If you mean separating the function signatures, then semicolons. The closest syntactic symmetry is with function signatures in extern blocks -- only other place we write signatures without bodies.

Closing as WONTFIX.
