Re: if else else

Hmm.. why make it confusing and call it "else" why not "cleanup" or "finally". Other constructs can benefit from this:

if {test} {
something
} elseif {test} {
something
} else {
something else
} finally {
cleanup
}

switch -- foo {
pattern {
something
}
pattern {
something
}
default {
something else
}
finally {
cleanup
}
}


It would be clearer to me that the action would be taken only in case of a match if the "cleanup" or "finally" went before the "else" and "default".
