VS Code having problems parsing THROW in sp_BlitzFirst

[AdrianBurla]

Hi Brent, there is a THROW in spBlitzFirst at line 2591 that triggers validation errors in some IDE like VS Code. It is just missing the semicolon on the previous line, I see in other stored procedures there is one so I guess this is just not noticed. Sorry for the trivial (not frivolous) suggestion, but it would help some people. I don't think it is worth creating an pull request just for a single semicolon, maybe in a future release you can just press that key at the right place :)

Thanks a lot in advance.

Also, can you show me what "triggers validation errors" means? I just opened sp_BlitzFirst in VS Code, and I don't see any kind of errors around line 2591, but I'm not sure where to look because I'm a VS Code n00b.

VSCode current version (1.106.1) with Microsoft official SQL Server extension 1.36.0 installed. 3 problems reported, but it is just one with side effects.

I will create the PR.

Thanks for the pull request and explanation! Looks good, merging into the dev branch, will be in the next release with credit to you in the release notes.
