Although now that i read it more, the actual "form" is:
ELSE
IF THEN
END IF
END IF;
That is - the ELSE starts new block unconditionally and ignores any IF
that follows. Later the IF can be part of new block as usual.

Docs seems to say it is, but following function fails to compile:
create function err_else() returns void as $$
begin
if 1 = 1 then
else if 1 = 2 then
end if;
end;
$$ language plpgsql;
ERROR: syntax error at or near ";"
LINE 6: end;
