Jim, are we supposed to expose these nodes?
Comment 2 Jim des Rivieres CLA 2004-03-30 19:15:59 EST 
Indeed, extra semicolons in class body declarations are ignored when we build 
the AST. These are syntactic "noise" of no semantic significance. We have seen 
no usecases that would suggest ignoring them is not the best approach.

No action planned.
