You are mistaken, where clauses can use braces to avoid having to use
layout as all others layout-based constructs in Haskell (do, where,
let, case _ of, even the top-level...). But in this case the
semicolons are mandatory, since you're explicitly rejecting
layout-based rules. That is one problem of this code (use of braces
without the semicolons), I didn't check if there were others.
