Which 'if' does the second 'else' belong to?

if x = 1 then begin
//
end else if y = 5 then
begin
//
end
else begin
//
end;

Why is there any confusion here? The formatting could be a bit mroe
consistent:

if x = 1 then
begin
//
end
else if y = 5 then
begin
//
end
else
begin
//
end;

But I don't see how one would not know the last Else goes with the
immediately prior If.
