An error from the `parse` phase. `sakura explain V0009` prints this explanation offline.

Two statements are on one line without `;`, or junk follows a complete statement (design §2.4).

Wrong:

```sakura
let a = 1 let b = 2
```

Fixed:

```sakura
let a = 1; let b = 2
```

## Wrong program [#wrong-program]

[`compiler/tests/ui/V0009_expected_terminator.sakura`](https://github.com/icantcodefyi/sakuralang/blob/master/compiler/tests/ui/V0009_expected_terminator.sakura), which the compiler's ui suite runs through `sakura check`:

```sakura
fn sum() -> Int {
  let a = 1 let b = 2
  a + b
}
```

`sakura check --json` reports this record (pretty-printed; `$DIR` is the fixture's directory):

## Fixed program [#fixed-program]

[`compiler/tests/ui/V0009_expected_terminator.fixed.sakura`](https://github.com/icantcodefyi/sakuralang/blob/master/compiler/tests/ui/V0009_expected_terminator.fixed.sakura), which `sakura check` accepts with no diagnostics:

```sakura
fn sum() -> Int {
  let a = 1
  let b = 2
  a + b
}
```
