Comment (by Simon Marlow <marlowsd@?>):

 In [changeset:aab65608f9a26990b2c5083e4b65b9d1f6c9b48a/ghc]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="ghc"
 revision="aab65608f9a26990b2c5083e4b65b9d1f6c9b48a"
 Add layout to MultiWayIf (#7783)

 This makes it possible to write

 x = if | False -> if | False -> 1
                      | False -> 2
        | True -> 3

 Layout normally inserts semicolons between declarations at the same
 indentation level, so I added optional semicolons to the syntax for
 guards in MultiWayIf syntax.  This is a bit of a hack, but the
 alternative (a special kind of layout that doesn't insert semicolons)
 seemed worse, or at least equally bad.
