    /// but without a final `else` branch.
    ///
    /// **Why is this bad?** Some coding guidelines require this (e.g., MISRA-C:2004 Rule 14.10).
    ///
    /// **Known problems:** None.
    ///
    /// **Example:**
    /// ```rust
    /// # fn a() {}
    /// # fn b() {}
    /// # let x: i32 = 1;
    /// if x.is_positive() {
    ///     a();
    /// } else if x.is_negative() {
    ///     b();
    /// }
    /// ```
    ///
    /// Could be written:
    ///
    /// ```rust
    /// # fn a() {}
    /// # fn b() {}
    /// # let x: i32 = 1;
    /// if x.is_positive() {
    ///     a();
    /// } else if x.is_negative() {
    ///     b();
    /// } else {
    ///     // We don't care about zero.
    /// }
    /// ```
