  You're right, it's an oversight on my part - and also proof that
every time I go against a design principle for convenience, it comes
back to bite me.
  Here, the design principle is "library functions should not depend
on global values", and el_semicolon() breaks this because it fails
when EXECLINE_STRICT is set and it can't find a block.

  I will fix it for the next release; this requires some refactoring.
  Thanks for the report!
