Support semicolon, i.e. @load_preference(key; default = nothing)?

[DilumAluthge]

This:

@load_preference(key; default = nothing)

Gives the following error:

ERROR: LoadError: LoadError: syntax: invalid syntax ; default = nothing

In contrast, this works just fine:

@load_preference(key, default = nothing)

Would it be possible to support the version of the syntax with the semicolon (i.e. @load_preference(key; default = nothing)? It would be consistent with one of the main ways of using keyword arguments in functions.

Bump @staticfloat

Hmmm, can macros do that?

ERROR: syntax: macros cannot accept keyword arguments

Hmmm, apparently not.

It's weird, because the syntax @load_preference(key, default = nothing) doesn't seem like a positional argument. But it is.
