I’m sorry, but I don’t know what “FIY” means, what your point is, or how your comment is a reply to mine. Consider re-phrasing?

I misspelled FYI - "for your information". You said there are only downsides, and no advantages; I just told you what the claimed advantage is for "abusing" ASI.

I hope you're not just being snarky.

I wasn’t. Apologies if it seemed mean-spirited — I only wanted to understand your point. I’m probably being thick, but I still don’t quite follow. It seems like you’re saying that if you leave semicolons out (relying on ASI), this makes “mistakes/missing semicolons easier to spot”? That doesn’t make sense to me. :-/
