IMO there's no chance of confusing it with a function call, since a function call would be illegal in the context in which it's used, and people are naturally more likely to add a semicolon without thinking about it, and if I design the macro so that a semicolon is required it will interact more smoothly with editors and pretty-printers. So I can't see any good reason not to require the semicolon. Arguments?
I prefer requiring the semicolon, mainly for nice operation within syntax-aware editors. Also, anytime I see something without a semicolon, my first instinct is to start hunting for the reason...
