That _is_ the way I often think of if-else. :-P I prefer the way it currently
works, as I do sometimes write:

static if
else if

And it means what I want it to mean.

Sometimes, though, I find that it's clearer to write something as:

if
else {
  if
  else
}

Instead of:

if
else if
else

Depending on what exactly is in the first else.

"static else if" would complicate the grammar a bit (written in about a minute,
not sure if the following would be correct):
  if: "if [expression] [statement] (else [statement])"
  static if: "[static if [expression] [statement] (else [statement])] | [static
if [expression] [statement] (static else [if-statement])]"

As opposed to the current:
  if or static if: "(static) if [expression] [statement] (else [statement])"
