Both the old and new code will do the same thing. You are correct.
However in terms of style, I believe the preference is to add a newline.
I don't remember the reasoning behind this. But a lot of these style
rules are just decided by consensus. If you do a
`git grep -w dev_dbg | grep \;$` then it is 12391 places that add a
new line and 622 which don't. Adding a newline is the clear winner.
