Summary 0000961: permit <semicolon> to terminate {...} command
Description As reported in 0000944, the following is widely supported by existing implementations:
    sed '{=;};{=;}'
However, the following is not:
    sed '/a/{/b/{=;=;};}'
It is unclear why there is a difference in behavior in these two cases; perhaps the nesting has something to do with it.

From a user's perspective, it would be nice if all implementations were required to support terminating brace groups with a semicolon regardless of where they appeared.
Desired Action After applying the changes from 0000944, change page 3182 line 106404 from:
Editing commands other than {...}, a, b, c, i, r, t, w, :, and # can be followed by a <semicolon>, optional <blank> characters, and another editing command.
to:
Editing commands other than a, b, c, i, r, t, w, :, and # can be followed by a <semicolon>, optional <blank> characters, and another editing command.
