Bug 15799 – Misleading error message against the contract followed by semicolon in interface

I've hit this three times, and each time I wondered "The grammer gets changed? " Too misleading message. interface I { void funA(); void funB(int n) in { assert(n); }; // --- unexpected semicolon } Error: missing body { ... } after in or out It's sure that the last semicolon is unexpected. And I know this error is proper for _class_. However, when turning funA into funB, we likely forget to remove the semicolon. As a result, it is possible for people to mistake "Interface with contract is illegal".

This is a bug since the beginning of the feature implementation. https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/commit/b0c80159d1080ddb13cc2c438f139bd153c9d79a
