Warning, severe TOC/bikeshedding ahead.
I don't know why, but this dash-semicolon sequence reads strange to me
and looks out of place. I would use parens for the first phrase and
keep the semicolon, that is "greatest common divisor (the largest ...);
returns 0 if ..."
That seems more natural to me, and we're already using parens in other
description <entry>s.
