I just realized that I accidentally posted this while editing.
I agree with you on that this is barely different from just 
adding "else".

The example that I wanted to put was the following.

{
     enum index = ...;
     static if (I >= args.length)
        return ...; //uses index
     else
     {
        enum result = ...;
        static if (!result[0])
        {
           static if (name.length == 0)
              return ...;
           else static if (result[2] >= txt.length)
              return ...;
           else
              return ...;
        }
        else
        {
           enum next = ...;
           static if (!next[0])
              return ...;
           else
           {
              ...
              return ...;
           }
        }
    }
}
