I think you need to have two patch sets. One to do the semicolon clean
up, and one for the preparation of arrays. Again, the semi-colon cleanup
I'm fine with keeping even if we don't do the arrays. But this is only
needed if we do the array work.

I'm not even sure I want to do it this way. I may change it when I do
the array work.
