The only thing you can argue about that is, that `else` is not on the same line 
as the closing brace of the if.
However, you will see, if you remove it, that it becomes hard to parse the 
code. At least for me. So I would put in the break to emphasize the `else if` 
condition.

Anyway, that is what I mean with `tabling` the related parts. I don't see how 
that violates the style guide, but IMHO, it makes quite a difference when it 
comes to readability of such involved if/else if/else if/else if/else if/else 
if/else if/else if/else if/else if constructs.

Best regards
Stefan
