My 2 cents. I don't find that annoying at all. It's perfectly 
normal IMHO.

It may introduce an additional indentation level for the second 
part, but I reckon it is normal to have those 2 instruction 
blocks at the same level. If we were to introduce a new keyword 
for "static if else", why not do the same for the run-time "if 
else" (to be coherent)?

And, if some code have too many indentation levels, than it 
probably means it should be better modularized, hence I'd suggest 
to split it in several sub-functions, it will be more 
readable/maintainable.
