- Yes, of course you *can* string things together on one line in Icon.
- But the use of lines rather than semicolons to separate expressions
- encourages a more readable style.
-
- Rick Fonorow once noted that it's never necessary to have any semicolons
- in an Icon program (except in literals). If you use that as a style guide,
- you tend to get more readable programs.
