Re: [boost] Macros at namespace scope: trailing semicolon?

I'm amazed at how this particular thread has exploded.

My $0.02: I've yet to see any arguments that I consider compelling to
support the "always require camp".  I expect direct textual substitution
from a macro -- if it's expanding into a single statement, it ought to be
expanding to a series of characters that includes the semicolon signalling
the end of that statement.  Other possibilities would only cause
confusion.  I'm firmly in the "never require a user to append a semicolon
to a macro themself" camp.
