Modules and ! sign recommendation

[dmi3y]

I believe there is mistype for ! sign recommendation on modules section. Actually I could not see how exclamation sign could help you in case missing semicolon. The following example will through error.

function abc() {} abc() !function bca() {}();

It would be much helpful to advice put ';' sign instead

function abc() {} abc() ;(function bca() {})();

and

function abc() {} abc(); ;(function bca() {})();

both equally safe for minification/concatenation.

Hey @dmi3y thanks for checking out the guide!

This has come up before and @reissbaker explains it here: #44 (comment)

This won't work:

function abc() {} abc() !function bca() {}();

but this will work:

function abc() {} abc()
!function bca() {}();

I've added a link to @reissbaker's comment in the modules section here: c8442b4

Thanks Harrison,

Sorry for missing that conversation.
This makes sense in that context, I've learn something new today:).
Possibly as soon this is a general javascript recommendations it might be useful to put proviso, so people did not tipped out here, like me did.
