[boost] extra semicolons

Hi all,

Not having extra semicolons is one of the strongest arguments against
incuding a trailing semicolon into a statement-generating macro.  Can
anybody explain why having an extra semicolon is considered a potential
problem by some compilers?  Isn't null as good as any other number?
Shouldn't an empty statement be considered as good as any other statement?

Regards,
Arkadiy
