I'm afraid you have just demonstrated the only pragmatic use for semicolons outside the C family of languages.

How do you separate lists of things that themselves have commas in them, if not with a semicolon?

Example: San Francisco is home to law firms such as Campagnoli, Abelson & Campagnoli; Carlson, Calladine & Peterson; and Carter, Carter, Fries and Grunschlag.

Style guides for a number of other languages do it by treating organization names like titles or labels and enclosing them with quotation marks. Unambiguous!

Nested lists though

x, y, and z; a, b, and c; and i, j, and k make common groups of variable names.

I use them fairly frequently; I find them useful for establishing a causative relationship between clauses.
