I've begun to look at it as punctuation

; = "and furthermore..."

- = "and furtherfurthermore...what was I saying...?"

) = "all my remarks are parenthetical, but I'm too absentminded to open the front end of the parentheses"

It's repeated so often it's lost any other meaning it may have had. It's wallpaper.
