';' needs to be used to denote the previous string (token) as a function where that can't be determined from context. For example, if you type '1 2 +' and press enter, the shell will assume that because there's a function called '+', the intention is to run that function, but you could also enter '1 2 +;' (or '1 2 + ;') to get the same result. Whereas '1 2 + 1 2 + +' doesn't work, because the shell doesn't know if the first two '+' symbols are meant to be interpreted as function calls or just plain strings. The other place where it assumes that a function call is intended is at the end of an anonymous function, so `[1 2 +]` and [1 2 +;]` have the same effect.
