`Unknown parser error` when adding redundant `;`

[eladb]

I tried this:

;

Playground

This happened:

error: Unknown parser error
  --> test.w:1:1
  |
1 | ;
  | ^ Unknown parser error

I expected this:

I don't think this should be a compilation error. An empty statement should be fine I think, no?

Is there a workaround?

I think a consequence of this would be that code like this is valid:

log("cool beans");;;;;;

But it's ok to leave fixing this to the job of a formatter/linter
