semicolon not added to history items when final line of compound list ends with a comment |

Usually a multi-line command gets added to the history list with
semicolons added in the requisite places, i.e:
$ f() {
> :
> }
$ fc -ln -1
f() { :; }
However, if the final line is a comment, the semicolon is not added,
making the history item an invalid command:
$ f() {
> :
> #
> }
$ fc -ln -1
f() { : }
Similarly, if the final line is a command which ends in a comment, the
comment character is preserved as part of the command, again making
the resulting history item invalid:
$ f() {
> : #
> }
$ fc -ln -1
f() { : #; }
Same is true for `for' and `while' loops, `if` and `select' statements, etc.
