What's wrong here? In pascal, we also see space used in similar way:

property Item[Index: Integer]: Integer read GetItem write SetItem; default;

i.e. there is NO ; or anything before the "read" keyword, but you do need a
; before "default".  Anyway, this maybe related to how the parser is
implemented, or just a decision by the language designer, but I don't
really see why this has to do with C vs. Pascal??
