Unhelpful Error Message: Else-If Typo

[ominitay]

Zig Version

0.10.0-dev.4418+99c3578f6

Steps to Reproduce

Write Zig code which uses an else if statement, but misses out the if keyword, for example:

const std = @import("std");

pub fn main() void {
    const foo = 20;
    if (foo == 30) {
        std.log.info("30", .{});
    } else (foo > 30) {
        std.log.info(">30", .{});
    } else {
        std.log.info("<30", .{});
    }
}

Expected Behavior

Zig should output a useful compile error, pointing the programmer to the problem, such as:

tmp.zig:7:12: error: expected 'if' before condition
    } else (foo > 30) {
           ^~~~~~~~~~

Actual Behavior

Zig outputs a near-useless compile error, diverting attention away from the typo:

tmp.zig:8:33: error: expected ',' after initializer
        std.log.info(">30", .{});
                                ^
