At the risk of getting a bit off topic, or maybe generalizing in a different
direction, IMO this should be tied to the new misleading indentation tracking.
What people actually mistake is this:
if (cond)
for (...)
if (cond2)
...
else
...
While I seriously doubt anyone mistakes your example quoted above as the else
binding to the outer if.
