True, so it's not necessary to add a fixes tag here.
The only time a comma->semicolon conversion could 'fix'
something is when it's unintentionally used after something
like an if statement
if (foo)
bar(),
baz();
where now baz() is performed only when the if condition is true
but the indentation indicates that it should always be performed.
