   Section 6.3.2.5 of the Fortran 2018 spec, second paragraph:   
      
       A statement may alternatively be terminated by a “;” character   
       that appears other than in a character context or in a comment.   
       The “;” is not part of the statement. After a “;” terminator,   
       another statement may appear on the same line, or begin on that   
       line and be continued. A sequence consisting only of zero or more   
       blanks and one or more “;” terminators, in any order, is   
       equivalent to a single “;” terminator.   
      
   Note it says “terminator”, not “separator”.
