          Issue ID: 16201
           Summary: When all paths inside a static if return/throw, the
                    portion after static if should be as if "else" were
                    used

Consider:

static if (condition)
{
   ... code 1 ...
   return;
}
... code 2 ...

This should be treated by the compiler the same as:

static if (condition)
{
   ... code 1 ...
   return;
}
else
{
    ... code 2 ...
}

Currently it gets quite annoying to have to nest multiple static ifs and elses.
