[RFC] ElseIf

[mwasplund]

Proposal: Add else if/elif to allow for chaining conditionals.

Without a switch or match statement conditionals can easily explode into a spaghetti mess of nested if statements. Else if would allow for a more flat, clean decision tree.

if (value == 1) {
  // Do stuff
} else if (value == 2) {
  // Do other stuff
} else {
  // Default stuff
}

This is already supported and always has been, it was added to the docs recently but the auto doc updates aren't hooked up right now.

Great the hear, then this is a bug in the docs: https://wren.io/control-flow.html

[mwasplund]

But now that I look at the site markdown in main there is an else if example: https://github.com/wren-lang/wren/blob/main/doc/site/control-flow.markdown#if-statements. Might just need to re-deploy the site.

the auto doc updates aren't hooked up right now.
