The problem (that I see) is, that if you don't create the "else" 
path but the "static if" condition is true, you generate dead 
code behind the return statement (if the compiler doesn't 
optimize that away).
In our company that would be a no-go. So you always have to 
explicitly write (and indent) the else path.
