Permit me to register my strong disagreement.  if...elseif...elseif...else...
should be written:

if (...) {
	...
} else if (...) {
	...
} else if (...) {
	...
} else {
	...
}

(positioning the brackets as you see fit.  Please let's not start *that*
discussion again!)

Computer languages don't need two equally attractive ways to say the same
thing.
