There was a discussion in the past about whether or not such macros should 
contain semicolons.  There was no agreement on this.  We decided to include 
semicolons in typeof macros, where possible.  This way it can be used with 
or without semicolon at the end.

Of course this is not related to BOOST_TYPEOF or BOOST_AUTO, but 
BOOST_TYPEOF_REGISTER_XXX macros, for example, all contain semicolons at the 
end.
