I cannot remember a language with elseif* variants, and I find them

so that would suggest to stick to a simpler "if" without variants, if
possible.
FTR I *strongly* disagree with this. (And if you can't remember a
language that comes with them then you need to get out more. The Bourne
shell, where it's spelled "elif", and Ada are two obvious examples.)
Not to mention PL/pgSQL and Perl.
Indeed.
