rc uses ;
Not sure what came first, and not up to digging out the history books,
but these days, a plain `;` for a prompt has a distinct advantage in
that you can copy the whole line and paste it into another shell, and
the shell will do The Right Thing (tm) as long as (as is, I believe,
done by all of the major shells at least) it uses `;` for command
separation.
