Not sure if this is visible enough in the documentation, but
"comma" reads as "and",
"semicolon" reads as "or",
and the full stop should be self explanatory.
Pretty straightforward.

(Yes, this comes from the Prolog heritage.)

I think people get hung up about this, because it is easy to have an
opinion on.  Kinda like indentation, or _ vs CamelCaps.

PS I actually think the syntax differences are great, cause it means I
   don't get suckered into writing Java code in Erlang!
