I’ve come across this issue with IIFE’s, but never once did I think about bringing in semicolons wholesale to deal with it. As it’s a pretty specific case, in the past I have just named and then called it, but I can see that in this case a single semicolon would be neater.

I’d love to hear of more situations where a semicolon is necessary though. I don’t use IIFE’s enough, and the work around is pretty trivial for that pesky semicolon to make a comeback!
