When referencing a label, I want to indicate the end with a ;.

[iwkjosec]

Description

In the current Typst syntax, writing a@lb references <lb>, but if I want to reference <l>, writing a@l b results in an unwanted space between l and b instead of referencing <l>.
I find it strange that, while in code starting with #, we can avoid spaces by indicating the end with a ;, we cannot do the same with labels.

We can look into allowing that. In the meantime, you can write a#[@l]b.

I'd caution against allowing ; for this purpose. It's not uncommon that you want to use an actual semicolon after a reference, and with this change you would be forced to escape it.

I'd prefer the proposed syntax (that you didn't like) here #3010 over this

Ah right, I knew there was something ... but couldn't remember.

The notation that surrounds the beginning and end with parentheses is cumbersome. When you realize that you need to indicate the end of a label after writing @label_name, you have to go back to the position of the @ to insert the opening parenthesis.
In my experience, I have never thought of writing actual ; after a label reference.
I don't think there are many cases where one would want to write ; immediately after referencing a label. Why should we be concerned only with ; immediately after a label reference when characters like * and _ need to be escaped even when they are not immediately following a code or label reference?
