Duplicate semicolons in a lot of files

[ReneHermi]

Search the entire WP 4.4.2 rep for ;; and you will get several js, css and php files which contains duplicate semicolons.

• wp-admin\custom-header.php
• wp-content\themes\twentysixteen\rtl.css
• wp-includes\ID3\module.tag.id3v2.php
• wp-includes\js\admin-bar.min.js

and a few more

Note: Netbeans is one of the IDE's that is not recognizing this code issues. So this coding issues are easily overlooked.

Hey there, thanks for creating this ticket!

First, ID3 is an external library and admin-bar.min.js is an automatically generated file. Second, we usually don't do code refactoring just for the sake of it. See ​https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/contribute/code-refactoring/.

Hence we don't accept changes for removing unneeded whitespace etc. The reason being that when using SVN/Git blame we'd rather see the code change history than whitespace changes which makes debugging much easier.
