The `alternative' way to write if/elseif/else statements, using if();
elseif(); else; endif; cannot be efficiently implemented without
adding a large amount of complexity to the 3.0 parser. Because of
this, the syntax has been changed:
Example A-5. Migration: old if..endif syntax 1
2 if ($foo);
3 echo "yep\n";
4 elseif ($bar);
5 echo "almost\n";
6 else;
7 echo "nope\n";
8 endif;

Example A-6. Migration: new if..endif syntax 1
2 if ($foo):
3 echo "yep\n";
4 elseif ($bar):
5 echo "almost\n";
6 else:
7 echo "nope\n";
8 endif;

Notice that the semicolons have been replaced by colons in all
statements but the one terminating the expression (endif).
