I would welcome ideas. I was sad when we gave up on this for ES5/strict. To
get this started, he's one possibility:

Applying the same rules used to recognized the "use strict" directive,
within the scope of a "use strict semicolons" directive, any code that would
have caused ASI is instead rejected as a static error.

Other suggestions welcome. I hate JavaScript's ASI rules.
