Not to mention that the character historically used for this purpose is
; (semicolon.)
But that would cause havoc with shells which use ; to seperate commands.
Using ; would defiantly break userspace

I can escape the semicolon just fine in bash. In fact, tab-completion will do
this automatically. That's really a non-issue. It just means that anyone who
wants to use this feature would have to know what they're doing, which I believe
is your goal, right?
