[Grace-core] Comment proposal

[Kim Bruce]

I could live with either of these.  At this point I lean more toward the second, but could live with the more restrictive second.

Checking where ";" can go in Grace, the following program is legal only if print(x) is indented to the right of ;

var x: Number := 3
while {false} do {;
                    		print(x)
};

Odd, especially when the following is fine:

while {false} do {x := x + 3;
    print(x)
};
