It's more like if a ; was allowed somewhere else and had a different meaning there.

enum foo; blah ...;



Perhaps a better example would be & referring to AND operations (logical and bitwise), but also being a unary operator for taking the address of a variable.


like parenthesis for functions, tuples and for denoting prioritized evaluation?


[flagged]


absolutely yes.

I even gave three different places where parenthesis can be used and have different meanings


You can also use the letter a in 3 dufferent places and have different meanings, and is also not an example.


Why aren't those 3 examples of the same characters having different syntactic meaning valid?
