How can "else" be ambiguous within a case statement?
If one omits the trailing semicolon (the one that's commented), the else
becomes ambiguous:
Case Something of
Value1: ;
Value2: If Condition Then DoSomething (*;*)
Else
End;
Yes, that's the one. When I raised it it was pointed out to me that the
otherwise form was intended as a drop-in replacement to avoid this.
