[issue45759] `elif` inside `if` block is a `SyntaxError`

New submission from theeshallnotknowethme : While fixing errors in a program, I encountered this: if a == b + 2: c = sqrt(b) + a**2 elif a == b + 3: SyntaxError: Invalid syntax It should be giving an `IndentationError` or a better error message at least. -- components
