I see some problems with possible ambiguities. What if the 'do this'
also has conditional statements, even multiply nested?


This might be the reason why many languages have the 'select case'
construct,


which could generalized towards


    select (variable_with_long_name)
          case cond1a or cond1b and not cond1c: do this
          case cond2: do that
          else: fallback
    end select
